Urinary alanine aminopeptidase (UAAP)

Urinary alanine aminopeptidase has a certain value in the diagnosis of kidney disease. When the kidney is damaged by pathological changes, the alanine aminopeptidase in the urine is significantly increased. Urinary alanine aminopeptidase can be used as a sensitive indicator for evaluating kidney damage. Urinary alanine aminopeptidase (UAAP) normal value: male: 8.83 ~ 16.37 U / L (7.3 ~ 16.7 U / g · Cr). Female: 5.25 ~ 10.05 U / L (4.8 ~ 9.8 U / g · Cr). Basic Information Specialist classification: urinary examination classification: urine / kidney function test Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: not fasting Analysis results: Below normal: No clinical significance. Normal value: Urinary alanine aminopeptidase (male): 8.83-16.37U/L Urinary alanine aminopeptidase (female): 5.25-10.05 U/L Above normal: Acute and chronic pyelonephritis, glomerulonephritis, acute renal failure, renal transplant rejection, renal cancer, acute tubular necrosis, acute renal poisoning (mercuric chloride, gentamicin, cyclosporine A). negative: Positive: Tips: Patients should wash the vulva before leaving the urine to avoid urine contamination of the vulva secretions. The container used should be clean and free from contamination. Do not mix chemicals such as detergents, disinfectants and preservatives to avoid affecting the inspection results. Women should prevent vaginal discharge from getting into the urine and be careful not to do this during the menstrual period. Normal value Male: 8.83 ~ 16.37 U / L (7.3 ~ 16.7 U / g · Cr). Female: 5.25 ~ 10.05 U / L (4.8 ~ 9.8 U / g · Cr). Clinical significance Elevation: acute and chronic pyelonephritis, glomerulonephritis, acute renal failure, renal transplant rejection, renal cancer, acute tubular necrosis, acute renal toxicity (mercury chloride, gentamicin, cyclosporine) A). High results may be diseases: acute pyelonephritis, chronic pyelonephritis, glomerulonephritis, acute renal failure precautions 1, the patient washes the vulva before leaving the urine to avoid urine contamination of the vulva secretions. The container used should be clean and free from contamination. Do not mix chemicals such as detergents, disinfectants and preservatives to avoid affecting the inspection results. 2, women should prevent vaginal discharge into the urine, and pay attention to the inspection should not be done during the menstrual period. 3, take the middle section of urine: first discharge a part of the urine, take the middle part of the urine section. 4, should be sent immediately after the urine, urine specimens should be fresh, the maximum time after discharge to the test can not exceed 2 hours. 5. This enzyme assay requires simultaneous determination of urinary creatinine. 6, using mannitol, dextran, bile acid and other drugs, can increase the measured value. Inspection process Take the middle part of the patient's urine and send it for inspection. Not suitable for the crowd Menstrual women. Adverse reactions and risks no.
