Question
What is the condition characterized by high levels of urinary N-acetylgalactosaminidase and glutamyl transferase? The patient is a 56-year-old female with a six-year history of diabetes. The current examination at the nephropathy hospital shows: UNAG 171, UGGT 44, mALB 7.40, and BMG 0.03. Is this indicative of tubular epithelial cell damage, and is the situation serious?
Answer
The patient’s condition is diabetes with some abnormal urinary indicators, possibly indicating early diabetic nephropathy, which is not severe. It is recommended to control blood sugar levels, use losartan to protect the kidneys, and adopt lifestyle interventions such as dietary control and moderate exercise. Regular follow-ups are advised to monitor changes in the condition.
