Kidney enzymes are enzymes specific to the kidney.
Enzymes are protein molecules that speed up (or catalyze) chemical reactions in the body. These chemical reactions serve a wide variety of functions, many involving the production of special molecules in the body. Some of these molecules are produces relatively exclusively by the kidney. To limit the production of these molecules to the kidney requires that only the kidney contains the necessary enzymes needed to produce these molecules. These enzymes would logically be called kidney enzymes.
An example of a molecule produced relatively exclusively by the kidney is calcitriol, the active form of vitamin D3. Calcitriol is produced through a chemical reaction catalyzed by the kidney enzyme 25-hydroxyvitamin D3 1-α-hydroxylase (also called 1α-hydroxylase).
One enzyme that is made by the kidneys is renin. It is part of the renin-angiotensin mechanism that helps regulate blood pressure.

Elevated kidney enzymes?
Elevated kidney enzymes could indicate kidney damage or dysfunction. This may be caused by conditions such as kidney disease, dehydration, medications, or infections. Further testing and evaluation by a healthcare professional are necessary to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
Do kidney stones cause elevated liver enzymes?
Yes, it is possible but doesn't happen often. There is published data on this regarding pediatric patients in the journal Pediatric Gastroenterology Hepatology and Nutrition, June 2013 16(2) pages 89-94.
What is an example of secretion?

Where is lyase found in the human body?
Lyase enzymes are found throughout the human body, with different specific lyase enzymes located in various organs and tissues. They play critical roles in various metabolic pathways by catalyzing the removal or addition of functional groups to substrates. Examples include carbon-carbon lyases found in the liver and kidney that are involved in amino acid metabolism.
What cause low kidney enzymes?
If you have a low bun level, you may be on a very low protein diet or are overhydrated. If your creatinine is low, you may have very little muscle mass or be over-hydrated.
