Abstract
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. The aim of this study was to assess the level of microalbuminuria as early indicator of renal impairment among Sudanese patients with tonsillitis Case-control study was conducted during the period from July to September 2017, forty samples from diagnosed patients with tonsillitis (admitted to Ear-Nose and Throat hospital in Khartoum state) as cases and forty samples from healthy individuals as controls, the level of microalbuminuria was measured by i-chroma device. 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). The level of microalbuminuria increased in acute and chronic tonsillitis patients.
