Abstract

Pyelonephritis is a common infection to all children in all age groups, including the newborn. The diagnosis of urinary tract infection is established certainly by urine culture. Additional investigations can be done to help confirm the diagnosis, such as urinary interleukin-6. Increased number of urinary interleukin-6 is helpful to quickly confirm the occurrence of pyelonephritis. Keyword : pyelonephritis; neonates; urine culture; interleukin-6

Abstract

Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is one of the most common chronic kidney diseases in children, characterized by massive proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, edema, and dyslipidemia. Relapse occurs in most cases and contributes to worsening the disease course. Dyslipidemia is suspected to influence relapse risk, but the specific relationship between lipid profile and relapsing NS remains unclear. Objective to analyze the association between total cholesterol, triglycerides, LDL, and HDL levels with relapse incidence in children with nephrotic syndrome. A retrospective study was conducted on 66 children aged 2–18 years with NS treated at H. Adam Malik General Hospital, Medan, in 2024. Subjects were divided into relapsing (n=54) and non-relapsing (n=12) groups. Data were obtained from medical records and analyzed using the Mann-Whitney test and Spearman correlation. Triglyceride (p=0.007), LDL (p=0.013), and HDL (p<0.001) levels differed significantly between the relapsing and non-relapsing groups. Total cholesterol showed no significant difference (p=0.164). The mean albumin level was significantly lower in the relapsing group (2.9 g/dL vs. 4.1 g/dL; p<0.001). A significant negative correlation was found between albumin and triglyceride levels (r=-0.326; p=0.008). Triglyceride, LDL, and HDL levels are significantly associated with relapse in pediatric nephrotic syndrome. Hypoalbuminemia is also an important risk factor. Lipid profile evaluation can serve as a useful indicator in monitoring and managing relapses.
