Relationship Between Urinary Microalbumin and Allied Renal Function Tests in Children with Bronchopneumonia
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2017, Vol 5, Issue 5
Abstract
Aims and objective: To determine urinary microalbumin and allied renal function tests in children with bronchopneumonia. Material and Methods: Bronchopneumonia patients selected from pediatric ward, Padmbhushan Vasantdada Patil General Hospital, Sangli as well as General Hospital, Miraj. The study group comprised of 30 children with bronchopneumonia and control group of 30 children matching in age and sex. Patient’s blood and urine samples were subjected to estimation of serum urea, creatinine, uric acid, sodium, potassium, and urinary total protein, and microalbumin by using commercial kits. Results: Serum urea, creatinine, uric acid, sodium and potassium levels were significantly altered in children with bronchopneumonia and excretion of total protein and microalbumin were increased. Conclusion: These findings suggest that urinary microalbumin and renal functions were altered due to may be renal insufficient antidiuretic hormone (ADH) secretion and hypoxia.
