The present study was intended to clarify the clinical status and prognosis of students with asymtomatic proteinuria or hematuria. For the above main purpose, the loading test, keeping upright position and walking, was administered for 18 selected students who were admitted to university hospital for renal biopsy. The questionaries regarding to physical condition and working were given to the persons who were graduated from this university and had proteinuria during their school time. The results obtained were as follows: (1) It was detected that the close relationship existed between histopathological features of renal biopsy specimen and the results of loading test by keeping upright position and walking. The urine of students, whose glomerular lesion were active, showed maximum portein concentration after walking. (2) The most subjects, who had proteinuria during their university life, were healthy and worked full time, but some of them still had proteinuria, persistently or intermittently. According to the types of proteinuria during their school time, the subjects were classified into three groups, persistent, intermittent, and transient proteinuria. Six out of 13 subjects who used to have persistent proteinuria still had the same type of proteinuria. Furthermore, one subject of the rest was on maintenance hemodialysis. Both intermittent and transient group had fair prognosis. It was concluded that the loading test by keeping upright position and walking were useful for determination of activity in renal disease, and the students with persistent proteinuria should be carefully treated on their health administration. |
