Abstract：Objective To understand the basic situation and main features of urine screening of children in the pover-ty areas of Gansu province,in order to provide the basic data for the management of childhood chronic kidney disease in poverty areas. Methods A total of 1659 children aged 6-8 years in the first grade of 3 primary schools and a total of 2003 children aged 12-14 years in the first grade of 6 junior high schools were collected in Yuzhong county,Lanzhou city, Gansu province. The morning urine of children was collected to do the urine conventional detection by using urine test strips. However,the urine detection was repeated for children with the urine abnormalities. We recorded the occurrence of the urinary occult blood,proteinuria,urinary occult blood combined with proteinuria,and compared them between children of different ages,genders,and families. Results Results shown that the positive rates of urinary abnormalities were 6. 81% and 19. 22 % in children aged 6-8 years and 12-14 years,respectively. Meanwhile,the incidence of urinary occult blood,proteinuria,and urinary occult blood combined with proteinuria in children aged 12-14 years was higher than that in children aged 6-8 years (P < 0. 05). The positive rate of urinary occult blood of girls was higher than that of boys,and the prevalence of the urinary occult blood,proteinuria,and urine occult blood combined with proteinuria of rural children was more than that of urban children in children aged 6-8 years (all P < 0. 05). The prevalence of urinary occult blood of girls was higher than that of boys,and the prevalence of the urinary occult blood and proteinuria of rural children was higher than that of urban children aged 12-14 years (all P < 0. 05). Conclusions The prevalence of urinary occult blood,proteinuri-a,and urinary occult blood combined with proteinuria in children aged 12-14 years is higher than in children aged 6-8 years,and the prevalence of the urinary occult blood in girls and rural children is more than that in boys and urban chil-dren.
