Study of Lipid Profile in Pediatric Nephrotic Syndrome Patients in Karbala

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to study detect relationship between some biological and
biochemical parameters in pediatric nephrotic syndrome with different ages.
Methods: The study was done between October 2021 and May 2022. In the Pediatric
teaching hospital Center for Nephrology /Karbala Health Directorate. A 5 mL sample
of venous blood was collected from 116 Nephrotic syndrome children patients and 42
healthy children. There are several analyses have been performed as a result, including
biochemical parameters: Lipid profiles (TC, LDL, HDL, and TG), Albumin, Hematological
parameters CBC, Physiological parameters (Glucose, ABO), General Parameters (Age,
Weight, Gender).
Results: The results show that the value of TC, LDL, HDL, TG, Albumin, and Glucose
were 330.62, 204.27, 58.51, 308.67, 30.54, and 115.27 mg/dL, respectively. In children
with Nephrotic syndrome there were some correlation between some parameters, such as
TC and LDL (0.808) ,and TG with both LDL and TC (0.526,0.539), respectively. The B
blood group in children with nephrotic syndrome was more than in healthy.
