A study of Some Factors Affecting the Prevalence of Renal Disease in Children
Main Article Content
Abstract
The current study was carried out in the period from 1 to 25 November 2023. It included sixty-two pediatric patients in the age range of (1-12) years and male and female children: twenty-six pediatric patients with chronic renal failure and thirty-six pediatric patients with nephrotic syndrome, who were outpatients and inpatients in the renal diseases unit and dialysis unit of both Al-Mansour Pediatric Teaching Hospital and Child's Central Teaching Hospital in Baghdad, Iraq. The control group consisted of twenty-six children in the same age range as the sick groups of males and females. Blood samples were collected from patients and controls. Then renal function was evaluated by applying the laboratory tests as urea and creatinine levels were measured in serum, besides blood group and Rh factor tests. Factors that may affect renal disease incidence and progress were recorded, such as socioeconomic status, residence (North, Middle, and South), and family history. The results explained the significant increase in both urea and creatinine concentrations (P<0.001) in serum compared with controls. The blood group and Rh factor had no significant differences among children of both sick groups. The entire affected factors had no significant association with renal disease incidence or progress in the current study. The age and gender of each child patient had no significant effect on the type of renal disease (at P value ≤ 0.01).
