Zusammenfassung: | Urinary lactic dehydrogenase isoenzyme 5 in the differential diagnosis of kidney and bladder infections. Urinary lactic dehydrogenase (U-LDH) isoenzyme assays were performed on children with clinically proven kidney (N = 16) and bladder infections (N = 22) as well as normal controls (N = 24). Documentation of bladder and kidney infection was accomplished by means of the bladder washout test, culture of ureteric urine (in patients with urinary diversion), kidney function studies including the maximal urine concentration test, clinical symptomatology and radiologic appearance of the urinary tract. Total U-LDH in normal children (10.8 ± 1 mU/ml) was lower than in patients with bladder (27.0 ± 3.9 mU/ml) or kidney (226 ± 67.3 mU/ml) infections (P < 0.005). In normal children isoenzymes 1 and 2 predominated (LDH-1 migrates fastest to anode — fast zone pattern). In patients with bladder infections, the isoenzyme patterns varied but the concentration of isoenzyme 5 (3.1 ± 0.8 mU/ml) was lower (P < 0.005) than in patients with kidney infections (120 ± 39 mU/ml). In the latter, isoenzymes 4 and 5 predominated (slow zone pattern). Since overlap between kidney and bladder infections regarding isoenzyme 5 concentrations (at 3SD) occurred in only one individual (patient 37), a correct differential diagnosis using U-LDH-5 alone would have been possible in 94% of the children with pyelonephritis or 97% of the total patient population (kidney + bladder).
Isoenzyme 5 de LDH dans le diagnostic différentiel des infections rénales et vésicales. Des dosages d'isoenzyme de la lactico-déhydrogénase urinaire (U-LDH) ont été réalisés chez des enfants ayant une infection rénale (N = 16) ou une infection vésicale (N = 22) prouvées cliniquement et chez des sujets témoins (N = 24). Le caractère vésical ou rénal de l'infection a été précisé au moyen de l'épreuve de lavage vésical, de la culture de l'urine urétérale (chez les malades ayant une dérivation urinaire), des épreuves fonctionnelles rénales incluant l'étude du pouvoir de concentration, par étude des symptômes cliniques et de l'aspect radiologique de l'appareil urinaire. U-LDH totale chez les enfants normaux (10,8 ± 1 mU/ml) est inférieure à ce qui est observé chez les malades atteints respectivement d'infection vésicale (27,0 ± 3,9 mU/ml) ou rénale (226 ± 67,3 mU/ml), Chez les enfants normaux les isoenzymes 1 et 2 prédominent (LDH-1 migre plus vite vers l'anode). Chez les malades atteints d'infection vésicale les aspects des i |
