Background To determine the association between urinary N-acetyl-β-d-glucosaminidase
(NAG), a marker of renal tubulopathy, and carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) and plaques …

Aims Recent evidence has shown that renal tubulointerstitial injuries play an important role
in diabetic nephropathy. In this study, we evaluated the association between urinary N …

Recently, several renal tubular damage markers have gained considerable attention
because of their clinical implications as sensitive and specific biomarkers for early stage …

Background Diabetic nephropathy is a clinical diagnosis where proteinuria is present in a
patient with diabetes. Early intervention can significantly improve the prognosis. However …

We assessed the prognostic accuracy of urinary N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), an
early proximal tubular damage marker for the onset of diabetic nephropathy. The study …

Objective To evaluate the clinical usefulness of urinary N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase
(NAG) excretion for the detection of early tubular damage in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) …

Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is the main cause of chronic kidney disease in patients with type
1 (T1DM) and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Renal tubular lysosomal enzyme activities …

Diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy in the early stages is very important since there are no
clinical signs or symptoms. Urinary N‐acetyl‐β‐D‐glucosaminidase (NAG) excretion has …

Albuminuria is a well known risk factor for cardiovascular disease and mortality, but focus on
renal tubular dysfunction as a potential risk factor is growing also. The association between …

OBJECTIVE: To analyze prospectively the importance of urinary N-acetyl-beta-D-
glucosaminidase (NAG), a marker for renal tubular function, in comparison with urinary …
