Abstract
Urinary excretion of alanine aminopeptidase, alkaline phosphatase, gamma-glutamyltransferase and N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase was determined in gel-filtered samples of morning random urine specimens of 442 subjects of various ages (5 days to 58 years). Enzyme excretion related to urinary creatinine (enzyme/creatinine ratio; U/mmol creatinine) significantly decreased with increasing age. Sex-related differences of some enzyme excretions were found in age groups over 6 years. From these investigations, we calculated upper reference intervals (97.5 percentiles) for 5 age-dependent groups of children and adolescents and for one group of adults.Entities:
