Concentrations of N-acetyl-.beta.-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), alanine aminopeptidase (AAP) and .beta.2-microglobulin (.beta.2M) were determined daily in the urine of 28 patients treated with gentamicin (2-3 mg/kg per day) for a mean of 15 days. All had normal renal function. Increased activity in NAG and AAP was observed for all patients immediately or after 2 or 3 days of treatment. Results were compared with serum creatinine concentrations and urinary .beta.2M levels. A relationship between the nephrotoxicity of gentamicin and initial urinary enzymic activity (NAGi) prior to any treatment was seen. The degree of NAG response during the first 10 days of treatment appeared as a 2nd prognostic factor. Renal failure was observed for 1 of 12 patients with normal NAGi (NAGi < 200 .mu.mol/day); 7 showed a marked enzyme activity response (> 1500 .mu.mol/day) with an increase in .beta.2M activity; and 11 of 16 patients with elevated NAGi (NAGi > 200 .mu.mol/day) developed renal failure and showed an elevated maximal response. The concentration of AAP was of little prognostic value. The variation in individual maximal urinary enzyme responses observed among the 28 patients during the first 10 days of treatment pointed to the existence of individual sensitivities to gentamicin, the exact mechanism of which remains unclear.
