Utility of Urine N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase for Prediction of Renal Damage in Obese Children.

The incidence of obesity has increased globally in children and adults. In addition, renal dysfunction is an important complication of childhood obesity. This study was performed to identify the diagnostic value of N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), a renal injury marker, for the early determination of renal damage in childhood obesity.
