ABSTRACT
Background:
Research of pH and specific gravity of urine in healhty children is nessecary in order to evaluate urine in children with neurology.Objectives:
This study aims to estimate pH and specific gravity in healthy children aged from 2 months to 6 years old. Subjects andmethod:
3724 healthy children ( boy 52,6% and girl 47.4%) aged from 2 months to 6 years old located in 3 districts Kien Thuy, Thuy Nguyen, Kien An of Hai Phong were enrolled in the descriptive and cross-sectional study using urianalysis of midstream urine samples in the morning by analyzer Model 101-Teco from USA. The data was collected and analysed bysocial statistic SPSS software.Results:
- pH mean in boys was 5.38\xb10.62, in girls 5.40\xb10.61, and both sexes 5.39\xb10.62. In general, urine pH decreased according to age groups but there were no sex differences significantly. - Specific gravity mean of healthy boys was 1.018\xb10.007, of girls 1.018\xb10.006 and both sexes 1.018\xb10.007.Conclusion:
In general, specific gravity increased according to age groups but no sex differences may significantly be found.
