Abstract
Background: This study was undertaken because many cases of asymptomatic proteinuria and hematuria are present in school children. Aims and Objectives: The study was undertaken to evaluate asymptomatic proteinuria and hematuria in 100 school children of both sexes from 6 to 15 years of age. Material and Methods:Samples were collected randomly from students of different classes at the Government Kannada Primary School, K H B Colony, Bijapur, Karnataka (India). The midstream urine sample was collected in a clean wide mouth jar,examined by dipsticks for proteinuria and hematuria by microscopy. Results: We found that asymptomatic proteinuria and hematuria was more prevalent amongst the children between 10 to 13 years of age group with female predominance i.e.16% proteinuria and 5% of microscopic hematuria respectively. Conclusion: By this study we conclude that it would be possible to screen a large population of children for asymptomatic proteinuria and hematuria at a relatively low cost.
