Abstract Since the prevalence of renal and urological disorders among children in our country is not known, this study was designed to screen the urine of children in Menoufiya governorate for detection of silent urinary abnormalities and renal diseases. This study was considered as a part of project for screening of renal and urological disorders inMenufiya governorate. The present study was designed to study the prevalence of renal and urological disorders in hospitalized non renal patient screened for abnormal renal function tests(blood urea and serum creatinine) and abnormal urine analysis in population of apparently healthy children of both sexs and variable ages,born and continue to reside in Minoufiya governorate. In this study ,age of children ranged from 1to 60 month in pediatrics with mean and standred deviation 12.36+-11.43.In neonates the age ranged from 1to 27 days with mean and standred deviation5.18+-5.68 In this study 7.3% of children in pediatric age were living in urban areas while 92.7% were living in rural arers.In neonates 9.6% of neonates were living in urban areas while90.4% were living in rural areas. In this study 63.7% of chosen pediatrics were admitted due to repiratory diseases,31.9% due to gastro entritis ,2% due to blood diseases and 2.9% due to other variable causes.In neonates 19.1% were admitted due to respiratory diseases,40.4% due to Summary ١٠٧ jaundice,24.2% due to L.B.W 4.5 % due to sepsis 1.1% due to prematurity and 10.7% were due to other variable causes. The study showed that no association between (age,residence,cause of hospitalization) and impaired kidney function tests This study showed that blood urea level ranged from 6 to 33 in pediatrics with mean and standred deviation 14.58+- 4.69 .In neonates blood urea level ranged from 10 to 30 with mean and standred deviation 15.58+-3.94 . In the same time serum creatinine level ranged from 0.4 to 2.0 with mean and standred deviation 0.64+-0.24 in pediatrics while in neonates serum creatinine ranged from 0.4 to 1.8 with mean and standred deviation 0.64+-0.23 This study showed that the prevalence of impaired renal function tests among children in pediatric age was( 5.2%) while in neonates it was (4.5%) depending on measurement of blood urea and serum creatinine levels. In this study The prevalence of proteinuria in the studied cases was 3.6% In this study the prevalence of hematuria in asymptomatic children With various ages, sexes and socioeconomic standards, were 4.8% This study revealed that the prevalence of urinary tract infection was 2.8 % among pediatric children There was no significant difference in the UTI prevalence among children of different age groups. |
