Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Dental and Medical Sciences (IOSR-JDMS) - Year 2018, Vol 17, Issue 12
Abstract
A prospective observational study was conducted in the department of Paediatric Nephrology & Kidney diseases, Dhaka Shishu (Children) Hospital, Sher - E - Bangla Nagar, Dhaka from January 2015 to December 2015 to assess Serum Albumin level in active phase and in remission in children with Nephrotic Syndrome. Nephrotic syndrome, or nephrosis, is defined by the presence of nephrotic-range proteinuria, edema, hyperlipidemia, and hypoalbuminemia. While nephrotic-range proteinuria in adults is characterized by protein excretion of 3.5 g or more per day but in children it is defined as protein excretion of more than 40 mg/m2/h or a first-morning urine protein/creatinine of 2-3 mg/mg creatinine or greater. Hypoalbuminaemia causes ascites, anasarca which in turn can cause comorbidity. Measurement of serum Albumin is very important to see outcome of Nephrotic Syndrome in children.The aim of this study was to Assess Serum Albumin level in active phase and in remission amongchildren withnephrotic syndrome.Serum Albumin was measured in the BiochemistryDepartment of Dhaka Shishu (Children) Hospital. Serum albumin was9.339318 gm/L in active phase of Nephrotic Syndrome and 20.4907 gm/L in remission which was significantly high in remission of NS.
