[Normal values of the urinary activity of 4 enzymes]

The urinary activity of 4 enzymes (NAG, GLU, GAL, GRS) was investigated in 105 healthy subjects in order to evaluate the variability of standard levels and establish the degree of such variations in relation to sex, age, weight and height. The results obtained demonstrate that these enzymurias do vary in relation to the parameters examined. Age and sex produced the most pronounced variations though height and body weight also appeared to have some influence. The study of variations in standard levels is of value in the interpretation of pathological enzymurias.
