Urinary screening is a simple inexpensive tool to evaluate kidney functions. The authors carried out urinary screening of school children for early detection of kidney diseases.
Children in the age group 5-15 y were screened for urinalysis. They were divided in 2 groups; group-1 included 5-10 y and group-2 included >10-15 y old children.
Urine samples of 3340(78%) out of 4283 enrolled children were tested. Abnormal samples were found in 5.75%; with proteinuria in 4.59%, pyuria in 3.29% and hematuria in 4.31%. Males constituted 47.71% in group-1 and 54.64% in group-2. Low body mass index was found in 94.1% group-1 and 78.99% group-2 children. Mild proteinuria was found in 1.2% group-1 and 2.56% group-2 children. Severe proteinuria was more in group-2 (0.77% vs. 0.06%) with female preponderance. Glucosuria was found in 1 boy of group-2. Urobilinogen was more in group-2 (0.65% vs. 0.24%) with male preponderance. Nitrituria was found in 9 girls. Pyuria (2.02% vs. 1.27%) and hematuria were more in group-2 (3.04% vs. 1.87%) with female preponderance. Combined proteinuria and hematuria (0.42% vs. 0.24%) as well bacteruria and fungaluria were more in group-2 (4.11% vs. 1.39%). Six of 192 children with abnormal urinary findings were treated; 1 for urinary calculus and 5 for urinary tract infection.
Abnormal urinary findings were more common in children >10 y of age. Thus urinary screening program of children can become useful for early detection of kidney diseases and contribute towards building up of a healthy nation.
尿液筛查是一种简单且廉价的评估肾脏功能的工具。作者对学龄儿童进行了尿液筛查,以早期发现肾脏疾病。
对 5-15 岁的儿童进行尿液分析筛查。他们被分为两组:第 1 组为 5-10 岁,第 2 组为>10-15 岁。
对 4283 名入组儿童中的 3340 名(78%)进行了尿液样本检测。异常样本占 5.75%,其中蛋白尿占 4.59%、脓尿占 3.29%、血尿占 4.31%。第 1 组男性占 47.71%,第 2 组男性占 54.64%。第 1 组儿童中低体重指数占 94.1%,第 2 组儿童中低体重指数占 78.99%。第 1 组儿童中轻度蛋白尿占 1.2%,第 2 组儿童中轻度蛋白尿占 2.56%。第 2 组儿童中重度蛋白尿更多(0.77%比 0.06%,女性占优势)。第 2 组 1 名男孩出现糖尿。第 2 组尿胆原更多(0.65%比 0.24%,男性占优势)。第 2 组儿童中 9 名女孩出现亚硝酸盐尿。脓尿(2.02%比 1.27%)和血尿(3.04%比 1.87%)在第 2 组更为常见(女性占优势)。第 2 组联合蛋白尿和血尿(0.42%比 0.24%)以及菌尿和真菌尿(4.11%比 1.39%)更为常见。192 名尿液异常发现的儿童中,有 6 名接受了治疗;1 名患有尿路结石,5 名患有尿路感染。
10 岁以上儿童尿液异常更为常见。因此,儿童尿液筛查计划可用于早期发现肾脏疾病,有助于建设健康国家。
