|
In clinical practice, the routine testing of urine for proteinuria has been the most widely used screening device for urinary tract diseases.
This report is the result of the one-screening test to detect the incidence of proteinuria among the healthy Korean school children.
A total of 2,015 school-children in Daegu area, diagnosed to be healthy by the authors, were tested for proteinuria. Hemacombistix of Ames Company, U.S.A. was used for this 85 children showed proteinuria of 1+ or over, revealing the total incidence of 4.21%.
On sex and age prevalence, it showed higher frequency in female children. It occured in 5.9% of the female and in 2.8% of the male children and revealed increasing incidence of positive proteinuria with increasing age in both sexes, and the highest incidence of 10.67% was shown among the 5th grade female children.
In almost all cases, protein in the urine was ranged between 30 mg~100mg/100ml. Four female children had proteinuria ranging over 300mg/100ml.
There was no correlation between the incidence of proteinuria and the pH of the urine.
