Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the value of routine screening for renal damage in cases of B viral infection, by looking for proteinuria and elevated creatinemia. We investigate the frequency and associated factors of renal impairment in patients with viral B hepatopathy. Pathological albuminuria was confirmed in 44.73%. The chronic kidney disease with slightly decreased filtration rate was found in 21.05%. In multivariate analysis, only BMI was an independent factor for pathological albuminuria (p=0.013) and only age was an independent predictor of chronic kidney disease (p=0.056). Urine dipstick and creatinemia are useful for routine screening in viral B hepatopathy especially in the elderly and overweight.
