Popis: gamma-Glutamyl transpeptidase activity was measured accurately in canine urine supernatant without gel filtration and was relatively stable at 4 C for at least 4 days after collection. The urinary gamma-glutamyl transpeptidase-to-creatinine ratio in spot samples was simple and quick to measure and was correlated with the 24-hour enzyme excretion. However, the usefulness of this ratio may be limited by within-day variation, and a questionable theoretical basis for its validity.
