Patient's question:
All gynecological examinations were normal, with a positive result for galactosidase. What is galactosidase?Doctor's answer:
Analysis of the Condition: Hello, galactosidase is a hydrolase in lysosomes and is highly concentrated in the proximal renal tubular epithelial cells. The activity of β-galactosidase in urine can reflect early damage to renal parenchyma, especially the renal tubules. When measured together with N-acetyl-β-D-galactosaminidase in urine for urinary enzyme profile analysis, it helps in monitoring the course of the disease and evaluating prognosis.Guidance: Normal value of galactosidase: 2.51–14.3 IU/L. (Colorimetric method)
