Screening for Microalbuminuria in HIV-Positive Children in Enugu
Background. Human immunodeficiency virus associated nephropathy (HIVAN) is a rapidly progressive chronic renal parenchymal disease that occurs in HIV-infected individuals and manifests commonly as proteinuria, which is preceded by microalbuminuria (MA). This clinical entity is defined as a spot urine albumin of 20-200 mg/L. Objectives. To determine the prevalence of microalbuminuria in HIV posi...
متن کاملScreening for diabetic microalbuminuria in routine clinical care: which method?
The measurement of albumin/creatinine ratios and simple albumin concentrations in early morning urine specimens were evaluated to establish which was the best screening test for those likely to have microalbuminuria by the reference standard analysis of timed overnight urine specimens. The measurement of an albumin/creatinine ratio with a cut off of > or = 2.0 mg/mmol was found to be suitable w...
متن کاملEvaluation of tests for microalbuminuria screening in patients with diabetes.
BACKGROUND The first step in the diagnosis of diabetic nephropathy is to measure albumin in a spot urine sample. The aim of this study was to assess the accuracy of urinary albumin concentration (UAC), urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR), and the Micral-Test II in a random urine specimen (RUS) for microalbuminuria screening in diabetes mellitus. METHODS Two hundred and seventy-eight pa...
متن کاملscreening for microalbuminuria in the early detection of diabetic nephropathy: a cheap and simple method
prompt detection of renal involvement through evaluation of microalbuminuria can both reduce mortality in diabetic patients and significantly reduce the cost of managing these patients. to this end, micral test strips have been used as a screeing tool in this group of patients though not yet in our country. the present study aimed to evaluate this test and to abtain a simpler and less expensive...
متن کاملColorimetric screening method for microalbuminuria: intra-individual variability for untimed day specimens.
is similarly variable in the human brain, then this variation must be the first consideration in any attempt to estimate brain lesion size. This requires that the lesions must be clearly defined by region. One might expect the direct correlation of brain lesion size in humans with any serum CK isoenzyme values to be of little value until more is known about the distribution of these enzymes in ...
