N ACETYL BETA D GLUCOSAMINIDASE
What does N ACETYL BETA D GLUCOSAMINIDASE measure?
This test measures N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), an enzyme that may be used as a marker of kidney tubular cell injury or stress. A healthcare professional may order it to help assess kidney tubular function, monitor possible effects of certain medical conditions or medicines on the kidneys, or investigate changes in kidney-related laboratory findings. Results are interpreted together with clinical history and other tests.
