Abstract

2,4‐Dinitrophenyl‐1‐thio N‐acetyl‐β‐D‐glucosaminide was examined as a new substrate for analyzing the level of N‐acetyl‐β‐D‐glucosaminidase in the urine of patients suffering from renal diseases. The analysis is based on the fact that the substrate, when hydrolyzed in the presence of N‐acetyl‐β‐D‐glucosaminidase, liberates 2,4‐dinitrothiophenol as the chromogen. The optimum pH for the enzyme reaction is 4.6, which is covered by the optimal range for the UV absorbance of the chromogen. The first‐order rate of increase of the absorbance at this pH was linear to the enzyme concentration up to 600 U/L, with a high sensitivity. Analytical reagents with glucosaminides of 2,4‐dinitrophenol and 2‐chloro‐4‐nitrophenol are less stable than the reagent with glucosaminide of 2,4‐dinitrothiophenol. The optimum pH for the absorbance of p‐nitrophenol and 2‐chloro‐4‐nitrophenol does not match that for the enzyme reaction. J. Clin. Lab. Anal. 17:127–131, 2003. © 2003 Wiley‐Liss, Inc.

Seventy-one fetal urine samples were taken from the bladder or renal pelvis of 33 fetuses at 13-36 weeks' gestation with a diagnosis of urinary tract anomaly. Severe isolated hydronephrosis in the absence of an enlarged bladder was the indication for sampling in 12/33 fetuses (26 samples), who were
