Urinary N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase in children with diabetes as an early marker of diabetic nephropathy

View/ Open
Abstract
We investigated urinary N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase [NAG] levels in children with type 1 diabetes as an early marker of tubular damage and studied its correlation with microalbuminuria and glycaemic control. The study group comprised 42 children with type 1 diabetes and 20 healthy children as control. Urinary NAG to urinary creatinine ratio, microalbuminuria, glycated haemoglobin [Hb A1c], blood urea and serum creatinine were estimated. Urinary NAG levels in the children with diabetes were significantly higher than those of controls. There were positive correlations between urinary NAG levels and microalbuminuria, Hb A1c and systolic and diastolic blood pressure values. We found that 59.5% of diabetic children were positive for urinary NAG, while 38.1% of them were positive for microalbuminuriaCitation

Prevalencia mundial de la diabetes mellitus tipo 2 y su relación con el índice de desarrollo humano
Mendoza Romo, Miguel Ángel; Padrón Salas, Aldanely; Cossío Torres, Patricia Elizabeth; Soria Orozco, Manuel (2017-11)Objetivo. Evaluar la relación entre la prevalencia de diabetes mellitus tipo 2 (DM2) y el índice de desarrollo humano (IDH) por región del mundo en el período 2010–2015. Método. Se utilizaron los datos de la Federación Internacional de Diabetes para la prevalencia de DM2 (2010–2015) y el IDH del Programa de las Naciones Unidas para el Desarrollo. Se analizaron correlaciones lineales de Spearman entre el IDH y la prevalencia de DM2 y se hicieron regresiones lineales para estimar la relación entre ambos. Resultados. Se observó que a menor IDH ...
