Abstract
N-acetyl-beta glucosaminidase (NAG) and gamma-glutamyltransferase (GGT) were measured in the urine and serum before, 24 hours and one week after extracorporeal shock wave lithotripsy in 25 patients. Although ESWL is the preferred method in the treatment of kidney stones, its effect on renal parenchymal cells has not been sufficiently elucidated. Since radiographic methods remain inadequate in the estimation and management of parenchymal damage, it is useful to establish the specific renal cell proteins in urine and serum, reflecting renal tubular cell destruction.Entities:
