Prospective evaluation of urinary N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase with respect to macrovascular disease in elderly type 2 diabetic patients.

Abstract

Urinary NAG proved comparable to UAE when analyzed with respect to preexistence and development of severe macrovascular disease. It needs to be determined by further studies if urinary NAG will be of value to serve as an adjunct marker to UAE in type 2 diabetic patients.
