Abstract
Childhood obesity is a serious public health challenge. In 2010,
43 million children (35 million in developing countries) were estimated to be
overweight and obese; 92 million were at risk of overweight. In Egypt, the
prevalence of overweight among boys aged 5 – 19 years 35% and 10.5% for
obesity while the prevalence of overweight among girls 36.4% and 9.5% for
obesity.
Obese children may be at risk for both short term health consequences
and long term tracking of obesity to adulthood. A dramatic rise in the
prevalence of ESRD was noticed in the past decade this is parallel with the
obesity epidemic. Recent epidemiological data suggest that obesity is
associated with increased risk of renal injury in children. The onset of
obesity-associated renal disease is insidious and asymptomatic, so early
markers will be extremely useful in its prevention and treatment.
The aim of this work is to assess the utility of urinary.
