The aim of the present study was to evaluate short term urinary NAG levels in a model of reduced kidney mass. The half and quarter kidney mass were made from ligation of the renal artery. Both groups decreased in the level of excreted NAG on day 1 and 2 after operation. On day 5 after operation, both groups achieved urinary enzyme levels comparable to that of the sham-operated group. The remaining compensated nephrons held normal range of excreted urinary NAG levels, although reduced number of nephrons resulted in a decline in urinary NAG levels.
