“…Short sleep is associated with various health problem such as hypertension [38] and metabolic syndrome [39] in adult populations. Furthermore, shorter sleep could be related to more physical activities during wake time as the associations of transient proteinuria with posture and strenuous exercise or febrile illness are well established and orthostatic proteinuria occurs commonly in adolescents [40]. There is a lack of research on risk factors for lack of sleep in children with proteinuria; further studies are needed.…”

Proteinuria is a significant sign of childhood renal disorders. However, little is known about how sociodemographic and environmental factors are related to the presence of proteinuria among children and adolescents. This paper focuses on the prevalence of proteinuria and its risk factors among children and adolescents. This study conducted a secondary analysis of data from the 2016 Sample Schools Raw Data of Health Examination for School Students (SSRDHESS). Data collected from 27,081 students who had undergone a health screening were analyzed using Chi-square tests, independent t-tests, and multilevel logistic regression analysis. The prevalence of proteinuria was higher in the thin group than in the normal weight group (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) = 1.77; 95% confidence interval (CI) = 1.34–2.33) and lower in the overweight/obese group (aOR = 0.64; 95% CI = 0.51–0.80). Additionally, those in metropolitan and small–medium sized cities had a proteinuria prevalence about 1.5-fold higher than that of those in rural areas (95% CI = 1.08–2.02, 95% CI = 1.19–1.92, respectively). Proteinuria was associated with environmental pollution, including smoking rate, ambient particulate matter and heavy metals in drinking water (aOR = 1.10; 95% CI = 1.01–1.20; aOR = 1.06; 95% CI = 1.01–1.11, aOR = 1.001; 95% CI = 1.0001–1.0015). These results suggest that to improve health management effectiveness, kidney disease prevention efforts for children and adolescents should focus on geographical area and environmental pollution, as well as body weight as individual factors.

“…A drop of this suspension was then placed on a glass slide, covered with a coverslip, and examined microscopically to confirm the results. Data regarding the presence of UTI indicators such as pyuria, hematuria, and proteinuria were collected and analyzed using SPSS version 25 for Windows (14). Descriptive statistics were employed to illustrate the distribution of these indicators across different variables, including gender.…”

Background: Urinary tract infections (UTI) are among the most prevalent pediatric infectious diseases, leading to substantial healthcare utilization including hospitalization and antibiotic therapy. Despite the asymptomatic nature of many pediatric UTIs, these infections can contribute to significant morbidity if left undiagnosed and untreated, including the development of chronic kidney disease. Objective: This study aimed to assess the prevalence of asymptomatic UTIs in school-going children and to evaluate the effectiveness of dipstick and microscopic urinalysis as diagnostic tools. Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted with 67 asymptomatic school-aged children in the district of Nowshera, KP. Urine samples were analyzed using urine dipstick tests followed by microscopic examination to detect the presence of pyuria, hematuria, and proteinuria. The study excluded children previously diagnosed with UTI or any other infectious disease. SPSS version 25 was utilized for data analysis, with results presented in descriptive statistics. Results: Of the total children screened, 40 (59.7%) were male, and 27 (40.3%) were female. Age distribution was split between 3 to 7 years (25.4%) and 8 to 15 years (74.6%). The dipstick and microscopic examinations revealed UTI positivity in 46 children (68.7%). Specifically, pyuria was detected in 32.83%, hematuria in 32.83%, and proteinuria in 18% of the screened children. Conclusion: The study highlights the high prevalence of asymptomatic UTIs among school children and emphasizes the necessity for routine urine examinations as an integral component of pediatric healthcare to prevent future complications. Furthermore, dipstick and microscopic analyses were validated as efficient diagnostic tools for early detection of UTIs.

“…Bladder dysfunction was diagnosed by a history of urinary dribbling and significant residual urine. Hypertension, UTI, proteinuria, AKI, CKD, hydronephrosis, vesicoureteral reflux (VUR), renal scarring and dysplasia were based on standard definitions [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19]. Failure to thrive was defined based on normal references of the Public Health Ministry, Thailand for age and gender.…”

Background Posterior urethral valve (PUV) is the most common congenital bladder outlet obstruction in boys, causing renal damage beginning in utero. There are scarce data from Thailand regarding the long-term outcomes of PUV in boys, thus the aim of this study was to examine the presentation, clinical course, complications, outcomes and renal survival in PUV boys. Methods We reviewed the medical records of PUV boys treated at the Pediatric Nephrology Clinic, Prince of Songkla University, Thailand, over a 30-year-period. Results Seventy-seven PUV boys were identified, with a median age at diagnosis of 4.8 months. The most common presentations were urinary tract infection (UTI), poor urine stream and urinary dribbling in 26 (33.8%), 19 (24.7%) and 11 (14.3%) boys, respectively. Renal ultrasound results in 70 boys showed 8 (11.4%) unilateral and 56 (80%) bilateral hydronephroses. Of 72 voiding cystourethrograms, 18 (25.0%) showed unilateral and 22 (30.6%) bilateral vesicoureteral refluxes. 99mTc dimercaptosuccinic acid renal scans in 30 boys showed 12 (40%) unilateral and 8 (26.7%) bilateral renal damage. Fifty-nine (76.6%) boys had 149 UTIs; 42 (54.4%) had recurrent UTI. Forty-eight boys had valve ablation at the median age of 30.3 months. 22 boys (28.6%) developed chronic kidney disease (CKD) at a median age of 15.0 years. Conclusion Of 77 PUV Thai boys, UTI was the most common presentation. Recurrence of UTI and CKD was the most common consequence. Lifelong follow-up for renal and bladder functions is essential for all PUV patients.
