The presence of albumin in urine has been used for more than four decades as a marker of renal and cardiovascular damage. Most of the information on this marker is related to adults. The prevalence of albuminuria in the pediatric population has been reported as being 2.2-12.8% in some countries. Most research in this field is related to albuminuria and diseases, such as diabetes and hypertension. Using the methodology described by Arksey and O'Malley in 2005, a scoping review was carried out to show that the presence of albumin in urine in the pediatric population might be associated with environmental, demographic, congenital, infectious, and non-infectious factors. The information collected is supported by 74 references present in PubMed. The results reveal the multiple causes associated with albuminuria in the pediatric population. This information can be very useful for clinical practice by adding knowledge about albuminuria behavior in children.
四十多年来,尿白蛋白的存在一直被用作肾脏和心血管损伤的标志物。关于这一标志物的大多数信息都与成年人有关。在一些国家,儿童人群中蛋白尿的患病率据报道为2.2%-12.8%。该领域的大多数研究都与蛋白尿及糖尿病、高血压等疾病有关。采用阿克西和奥马利在2005年描述的方法进行了一项范围综述,以表明儿童人群中尿白蛋白的存在可能与环境、人口统计学、先天性、感染性和非感染性因素有关。收集到的信息得到了PubMed中74篇参考文献的支持。结果揭示了与儿童人群蛋白尿相关的多种原因。这些信息通过增加对儿童蛋白尿行为的了解,对临床实践可能非常有用。
