In order to determine the better urine sample for detecting ACR, we estimated ACR in three modes of urine sample. Two hundred patients of uncontrolled diabetes mellitus with proteinuria irrespective of age and sex were studied for urinary ACR in all the three types of samples over a period of 2 years. The statistical analysis showed that first morning ACR (r = 0.999, p > 0.001) of the subjects was more significantly correlated with their 24 hour urine sample ACR than spot urine (r = 0.995,展开更多

The results of randomized urinary estriol/creatinine （RUE<sub>3</sub>/C） and serum free estriol （SFE<sub>3</sub>） tests revealed that Ⅰ. The coefficient of correlation between RUE<sub>3</sub>/C and SFE<sub>3</sub> level were close in either normal or high-risk pregnancies （y=0.1477X+14.2368, r=0.4586, n=170; y=0.1724X+8.6698, r=0.5868, n=222, respectively, P【0.001）; 2.92%cases of the false positive rate of RUE<sub>3</sub>/C were corrected by SFE<sub>3</sub> test. In cases of pregnancy-induced hypertension （PIH） the false positive rate of RUE<sub>3</sub>/C were highest in comparison with those in cuses of other high-risk pregnancies （53.6%）; 3. The correct rate of SFE<sub>3</sub> test in prenatal predication of fetal well-being was significantly higher （95.6%） than that of RUE<sub>3</sub>/C （87.3%） （X<sup>2</sup>=17.77, P【0.001）. This paper suggests that RUE<sub>3</sub>/C can be used as a first line test for perinatal monitoring. When RUE<sub>3</sub>/C value is lower than normal, SFE<sub>3</sub> test should be added to ensure the reliability of perinatal diagnosis, especially in PIH cases. Obviously, to use these two tests for perinatal fetal monitoring simultaneously is better than to use any one test alone.展开更多

However, the most reliable specimen to measure ACR in children remains undefined. We assess the range and limits of upright and supine total albumin and ACR in healthy children. Methods: Healthy children age 6 - 18 years completed 24-hour and split upright and supine urine collections. Upright, supine and 24-hour protein, albumin and creatinine were measured. Primary outcomes are range and variation in urine albumin by diurnal status, age, gender, BMI percentile and Tanner stage. Results: In healthy children, with mean age 12.9 year (sd 3.2), upright ACR was 2-fold greater than supine (13.9 vs 6.8 mg/gm, p = 0.02). The range of ACR was much greater in the upright (2 - 323 mg/gm) compared to the supine (1.7 - 76 mg/gm) samples. The average total 24-hour urine albumin was 8.4 mg (sd 9.8) and the mean ACR was 8.9 mg/gm (sd 11.7). The 24-hour albumin increased with age and Tanner stage, but this relationship was not significant after adjusting for BSA or urine creatinine. A supine or upright ACR of >30 mg/gm was found in 5.4% of each group. However, in all subjects with an elevated ACR on an individual upright or supine sample, a second 1st am ACR sample was normal. Conclusions: In healthy children there is a marked diurnal variability in ACR with a higher value from a daytime sample compared to 1st morning specimen. Screening for pathologic albuminuria should always use a first morning urine specimen.展开更多

文摘Objective: Elevated urine albumin to creatinine ratio (ACR) of >30 mg/gm is a widely agreed upon indicator of pathologic albuminuria in children. However, the most reliable specimen to measure ACR in children remains undefined. We assess the range and limits of upright and supine total albumin and ACR in healthy children. Methods: Healthy children age 6 - 18 years completed 24-hour and split upright and supine urine collections. Upright, supine and 24-hour protein, albumin and creatinine were measured. Primary outcomes are range and variation in urine albumin by diurnal status, age, gender, BMI percentile and Tanner stage. Results: In healthy children, with mean age 12.9 year (sd 3.2), upright ACR was 2-fold greater than supine (13.9 vs 6.8 mg/gm, p = 0.02). The range of ACR was much greater in the upright (2 - 323 mg/gm) compared to the supine (1.7 - 76 mg/gm) samples. The average total 24-hour urine albumin was 8.4 mg (sd 9.8) and the mean ACR was 8.9 mg/gm (sd 11.7). The 24-hour albumin increased with age and Tanner stage, but this relationship was not significant after adjusting for BSA or urine creatinine. A supine or upright ACR of >30 mg/gm was found in 5.4% of each group. However, in all subjects with an elevated ACR on an individual upright or supine sample, a second 1st am ACR sample was normal. Conclusions: In healthy children there is a marked diurnal variability in ACR with a higher value from a daytime sample compared to 1st morning specimen. Screening for pathologic albuminuria should always use a first morning urine specimen.
