alanine aminopeptidase

AAP is a hydrolase. Alanine aminopeptidase assays can be used as a sensitive indicator for assessing kidney damage. Elevation: common in acute glomerulonephritis, acute pyelonephritis, acute renal failure and drugs (such as gentamicin, sulfonamides, etc.) caused by renal tubular damage. Basic Information Specialist classification: growth and development check classification: biochemical examination Applicable gender: whether men and women apply fasting: fasting Analysis results: Below normal: No clinical significance. Normal value: Serum alanine aminopeptidase: 0-38u/(g·cr) Above normal: Elevated alanine aminopeptidase in serum is seen in liver, gallbladder, and pancreatic diseases. negative: Positive: Tips: Choose a digestible high protein diet. Normal value Serum <38u/(g·cr); (colorimetric method) Urine male 12.6 ± 3.77u / (g · cr); Female 7.65 ± 2.46 u / (g · cr). (colorimetric method) Clinical significance Elevated alanine aminopeptidase in serum: seen in liver, gallbladder, pancreatic diseases. Elevated alanine aminopeptidase in urine is seen in acute renal failure, acute nephritis, renal malignancy, renal ischemia, tubular necrosis, renal transplant rejection, and renal injury. High results may be diseases: cholecystitis considerations 1, pregnant women can see elevated serum alanine aminopeptidase. 2, using mannitol, dextran, cholic acid, sulfonamides, aminoglycoside poisoning (such as gentamicin, cyclosporine, kanamycin, streptomycin, etc.), can cause tubular damage, causing alanine Acid transaminase is elevated. Inspection process Colorimetric determination. Not suitable for the crowd no. Adverse reactions and risks no.
