Urinary N-acetyl-beta-N-glucosaminidase in patients with urinary tract infection.

N-acetyl-beta-glucosaminidase (NAG, EC 3.2.1.30) is a lysosomal enzyme present in the proximal convoluted tubule. Increased urinary excretion of NAG has been shown in urinary tract infections. Our results have confirmed that urinary excretion of NAG is significantly higher (33.70 +/- 8.75 U/g Cr) in patients with upper urinary tract infection than in patients with lower urinary tract infection (14.10 +/- 6.80 U/g Cr) and healthy adults.

Hepatitis C virus and Sjögren's syndrome.

Viral infection has been suggested as a possible cause of Sjögren's syndrome. After we had noted Sjögren's syndrome in several patients infected with hepatitis C virus (HCV), we set up a prospective study to investigate the association of Sjögren's syndrome and HCV liver disease. We studied 10 patients with primary Sjögren's syndrome and observed four with HCV infection. A striking association between HCV infection and Sjögren's syndrome was found; however, a direct link could not be proved.
