Der Einfluss des Urin-pH auf die Aktivität von Urinenzymen

Summary The relationship between the pH of urine and the measured activity of ULDH, UAP and UAA was investigated in vivo and in vitro. The activity of ULDH and UAP is only half as much, or less, in acid urine (pH 4.8–5.1) as it is in alkaline urine (pH 7.0–8.1). The UAA activity, however, does not change in the pH range measured. The isoenzymes ULDH 2–4, present in alkaline urine of normal adults, does not appear in acid urine.
