Abstract |
The incidence of Orthostatic Albuminuria was observed in 1.862 rural school-children. The one hundfed-one children of them showed proteinuria after keeping the standing and lordortic posture for twenty minutes, and the five of above had nephritis and excluded from this study. The forty-five of 96 children with Orthostatic Albuminuria were male and the rest was female. The total incidence of Orthostatic Albuminuria in rural children was 5.3%, it occurred most often in late childhood and showed higher frequency in females. The quantity of protein in the urine varied from a trace to 5 gm per liter, and the most of them excreted 1-3 gm protein per liter of the urine.
Their general health was fair, or more often there were the episode of frequent cold, urticaria and the habit of unbalanced diet. And they were often lordortic, slender and tended to be asthenic. Also, the enlarged tonsilles and positive dermographism were noted in 31,34 of children with Orthostatic Albuminuria respectively.
