Proteinuria by the method of sulfosalicylic acid and its relationship with glomerular filtration calculated by several formulas in pregnant women at a Maternity Hospital in Lima, 2017
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2018-10-10) Ruiz Yarlequé, Patricia; Bazán Estrella, Kateryn Nataly; Sandoval Vegas, Miguel Hernán
The objective was to determine the relationship between proteinuria by the sulfosalicylic acid method and glomerular filtration rate (GFR) calculated by several formulas in pregnant women at a maternity hospital in Lima in 2017. This is an applied, observational, retrospective, descriptive, and correlational study. A total of 244 results meeting the selection criteria were collected. Of these, 64% presented proteinuria by the sulfosalicylic acid method, 5.7% had traces, and 30.3% were negative. Using different GFR formulas, the proteinuria results were correlated, and no relationship was found between the study variables (ANOVA, p > 0.05). Therefore, this method is not a useful tool when a test is needed to accurately identify renal function in pregnant women. For a better study of this test and comparison with GFR formulas, it is recommended to conduct a study with absorbance readings of the test (ASS), which would provide a quantitative result and greatly assist in the diagnosis of renal function.

Relationship Between Cockcroft-Gault Equations and 24-Hour Urinary Creatinine Clearance in Adults at a Hospital in Callao from January to March 2016
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2018-09-21) Espinoza Ibañez, Carmen del Rosario; Narro Allende, Jimmy José; Plasencia Vega, César Augusto
The objective was to determine the relationship between the Cockcroft-Gault equations and creatinine clearance in 24-hour urine in adults from a hospital in Callao during the period from January to March 2016. The correlation between these laboratory methods for all patients was moderate, with a significance level lower than the expected significance level. Women aged 18-30 had a weak correlation, women aged 31-64 had a weak correlation, and women aged 65 and older had a weak correlation. Men aged 18-30 had a weak correlation, men aged 31-64 had a moderate correlation, and men aged 65 and older had a moderate correlation. All the cases mentioned showed a significant difference. This study determined a low correlation between the estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) using the Cockcroft–Gault equation and the creatinine clearance equation.
