ABSTRACT
El objetivo de este estudio fue determinar la actividad de la fosfatasa alcalina urinaria (FALur) para evaluar precozmente lesión tubular y su utilidad diagnóstica. Los pacientes estudiados fueron: 20 Controles (C), 11 hipertensos (HTA), 23 diabéticos (DBT) y 34 con insuficiencia renal de diverso origen (IRDO). Se realizaron las determinaciones de: creatinina, clearence de creatinina (Jaffé cinético), FAL sérica y urinaria (cinético DGKC), microalbuminuria (inmunoturbidimétrico), proteiunuria (turbidimétrico), uroproteinograma, SDS-PAGE (al 12,5%) e isoenzimograma de FAL. La FAL sérica hallada fue normal, sin diferencia entre grupos y sin relación con el aumento de la FALur. El valor de corte recomendado para FALur fue de 8 UI/L. La FALur estuvo elevada en HTA e IRDO y normal en individuos con DBT. Los aumentos de FALur en IRDO se relacionaron con la lesión tubular estructural y en pacientes con HTA podrían relacionarse con alteración tubular precoz. Se propone la determinación de FALur para la detección temprana de lesión tubular ante falla renal establecida o en individuos con riesgo de desarrollarla, y se establece su utilidad en pacientes: - con DBT y HTA para seguimiento (junto a microalbuminuria y clearence de creatinina), - internados en riesgo de insuficiencia renal aguda: para orientar tratamientos, - con insuficiencia renal crónica: como indicador de lesión y pronóstico.
The objective of this study was to determine the activity of urinary Alkaline Phosphatase (ALPur) to evaluate early tubular failure and its diagnostic usefulness. The patients studied were: 20 Controls (C), 11 with Hipertensión (HTA), 23 Diabetic (DBT) and 34 with renal Insufficiency of diverse origin (IRDO). The creatinine, creatinine clearence (kinetic Jaffé) serum and urinary ALP (kinetic DGKC), microalbuminuria (Immunoturbidimetric), proteiunuria (Turbidimetric), uroproteinogram, SDS-PAGE (12.5%) and ALP isoenzymes determinations were made. The results indicate that serum ALP was normal, without difference between groups, and no relation with the increase in ALPur. Recommended cut-off value of ALPur was 8 UI/L. ALPur was elevated in HTA and IRDO, and normal in DBT. Increases in ALPur in IRDO were related to the structural tubular injury, and those in HTA could be related to early tubular alteration. Determination of ALPur is proposed for early detection of tubular injury, before renal failure is established or when there is risk of developing it, establishing its usefulness in: - DBT and HTA patients: screening (together with microalbuminuria and creatinine clearence). - Hospitalized patients in risk of acute renal insufficiency: in order to orient treatments. - Patients with chronic renal insufficiency: as an indicator of injury and prognosis.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of magnetic field on cellular activity of MC3T3-El cells. The celular activity was monitored by alkaline phosphatase and DNA synthetic activity in control, static magnetic field and pulsed electromagnetic field groups. A static magnetic field was applied to the cell by placing one, two, three, four, and five samarium-cobalt magnets above and below each cell plate for 24hours per day. A pulsed electromagnetic field with a frequency of 100 herz was applied for 10 hours per day. After 10 days of magnetic field exposure, there were increase of alkaline phosphatase activity in static magnetic field groups consisted of one, two and three magnetic groups, Alkaline phosphatase activities were not significantly increased in four and five magnetic groups, Application of pulsed electromagnetic field did not result in significant increase in alkaline phosphatase activity compared to control. DNA synthetic activity in both static and pulsed electromagnetic field group were not significantly different from that in control group, The result of this study suggest that magnetic field could have effect on the metabolism of bone cells related to the cellular metabolic process,
