  • Impact of body mass index on urinary solutes in Egyptian adolescents

    • Authors: Mahfouz, Nermine N.;  Advisor: -;  Participants: El-Shaheed, Azza Abd; Fahmy, Reham F.; Sallam, Sara F.; El-Zayat, Salwa Refat; Sibaii, Hiba; EL-Kassaby, Mahitab I.; Mourad, Hagar H. (2022)

  • High body mass index constitutes a risk for nephrolithiasis in the context of metabolic syndrome. The majority of these renal stones are either composed of Urate or Calcium Oxalate. We aimed to evaluate the ratios of urinary Calcium and Uric Acid to urinary Creatinine as an early alarming pathological sign in overweight and obese adolescents. Ninety adolescents of both sexes participated in the study. Anthropometric measures were fulfilled, and calculation of body mass index and waist to height ratio were assessed. Urinary Calcium and urinary Uric Acid to Creatinine ratios were estimated in an early morning spot urine sample.

  • Serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin in obese adolescents

    • Authors: Kandeel, W.A.;  Advisor: -;  Participants: Elmalt, H.A.; Samie, O.M.A.; Megahed, H.A.; Hegazy, G.A.; El abd, E.M. Y.; Moneam, N.A.; Masoud, M.M.; Abdel-Monem, M.A. (2018)

  • Anthropometric measurements were significantly higher in the obese group than in the control group (P < 0.05). Obese adolescents had significantly higher values of serum insulin, HOMA-IR, CRP, ALT, triglycerides, total cholesterol (P < 0.05), and NGAL (P < 0.01) and a lower HDL-C value than the control group. Also, we found a highly significant correlation between the CRP, insulin, and NGAL levels where P < 0.01.
