The risk of acute kidney injury is rising due to aging in the world and with the increased
usage of therapeutic agents and diagnostic interventions which are highly nephrotoxic …

Acute and chronic kidney diseases are an evolving continuum for which reliable biomarkers
of early disease are lacking. The potential use of glycosidases, enzymes involved in …

Background: Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in
diabetic patients worldwide. Plenty of tubular damage biomarkers have been discovered …

The kidney function can be assessed by a number of methods. The urinary excretion of
enzymes, in particular N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), is considered a relatively …

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 Chronic heart failure may lead to chronic kidney disease. Previous studies suggest
tubular markers N‐acetyl‐b‐D‐glucosaminidase (NAG) and Kidney‐injury‐molecule‐1 (KIM …

Kidney damage can be induced by ischemia, autoimmune diseases, hypertension, allograft
rejection, metabolic or genetic disorders, infections or toxins. The influence of these factors …

The incidence of both acute and chronic kidney diseases is persistently increasing and is
reaching epidemic proportions. Early therapeutic intervention may significantly decrease the …

Aim Acute kidney injury (AKI) is often underdiagnosed due to several limitations of the renal
marker creatinine. Tubular urinary biomarkers may substantially contribute to diagnose AKI …

Currently used measures to assess kidney function and injury are largely inadequate.
Markers such as serum creatinine, formulas to estimate glomerular filtration rate, cystatin C …
