Abstract: Complications of tonsillitis are rare, and usually only occur due to untreated bacterial infection, one of these complications is glomerulonephritis due to immune complex.

Data analysis was carried out by SPSS version 16. The level of microalbuminuria showed a significant increase in tonsillitis patients when compared to healthy individuals with P. value = 0.000 (Mean ± SD= 28.45 ± 4.02 mg/L, 8.05 ± 2.32 mg/L in patients and controls respectively), also The level of microalbuminuria was significantly increased in patients with chronic tonsillitis when compared to patients with acute tonsillitis with P. value = 0.000 (Mean ± SD = 44.12 ± 6.07 mg/L, 11.12 ± 3.22 mg/L in chronic and acute tonsillitis patients respectively), and The level of microalbuminuria showed a significant increase in males patients with tonsillitis when compared to females patients with tonsillitis, with P. value = 0.045 (Mean ± SD = 37.38 ± 5.27 mg/L, 19.55 ± 3.04 mg/L in male and female respectively), also there was no correlation between level of microalbuminuria and ages with (R= -0.183 and P-value=0.259).
