Abstract
Voided urinary N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase, alkaline phosphatase and γ-glutamyl transferase are accurate markers for differentiating between children with ureteropelvic junction obstruction requiring pyeloplasty and those with dilated nonobstructed kidneys suitable for conservative treatment. Measurement of these enzymes in voided urine could be used as a noninvasive tool for long-term followup of children with ureteropelvic junction obstruction after pyeloplasty and those receiving conservative treatment.
