ABSTRACT
Mass screening for proteinuria and haematuria enhances the
awareness of renal diseases and improves the chances for an
early diagnosis and therapy. Early diagnosis is the
cornerstone for prevention of kidney failure. Even if
progression cannot be slowed, patients who have been
diagnosed early have better survival when commencing renal
replacement therapy. To determine asymptomatic renal disease
in children in particular proteinuria, and hematuria in
asymptomatic children. It is a community based study of
prevalence of asymptomatic proteinuria and haematuria in
basic school children at Kosti City -White Nile State
-Sudan. The data was collected from 486 children. Male to
female ratio was 1.1:1. Twenty one children (4.3%) had one
(+) protein, 9 children (1.9%) had two (+) of protein, and
only one children (0.9%) found to have three (+) of
protienuria. One (+) RBCS in urine found in 24 children
(4.9%), two (+) RBCS found in 14 children (2.9%) and 8
children (1.6%) were found to have three (+) of RBCS in
their urine. The prevalence of proteinuria and haematuria
was significant. Urinary screening programmes in children
must be a routine especially in school age children.
Key words: Asymptomatic Proteinuria, Haemtaturia,
Children and Kosti-Sudan.
