Abstract

A number of kidney diseases of childhood may present as isolated proteinuria or/and hematuria, without any overt signs or symptoms. Urinalysis is a simple and inexpensive test used to evaluate various renal disorders. A school urine screening (SUS) program for kidney disease was conducted in Korea in 1998. Several research reports, including case reports and systemic reviews of SUS data, claimed that early detection and confirmatory diagnosis by renal biopsy seems to be helpful for determining the prognosis and intervention of progressive chronic renal disease. However, there is no global consensus as to whether screening for chronic kidney disease (CKD) should be undertaken in children and adolescents. This paper reviews the SUS for CKD in Korea, including the history and structure of the program, its assessment, related research, and associated problems.

소아들의 여러 신장 질환 특히 만성신장병은 초기에는 뚜렷한 증세나 징후를 나타내지 않고 단독 단백뇨 또는 현미경적 혈뇨로만 나타나는 경우가 많다. 이런 신장 질환을 발견하기 위하여 소변검사는 여러 장단점에도 불구하고 간단하고 비용이 적게 드는 검사로서 선별검사에 이용하게 되었다. 우리나라에서는 신장 질환의 조기 발견을 위한 학교 집단소변검사가 1998년에 개정된 학교신체검사규칙에 근거하여 전체 초 중 고등학생을 대상으로 실시되었다. 그 이후에 많은 연구와 보고들이 학교 집단소변검사가 만성신질환의 조기 발견에 유용할 것이라고 하였지만 아직도 여기에 대한 이견이 있을 뿐만 아니라 비용 효과 등에 대하여서도 충분한 의견 일치를 얻지 못하였기에 코호트 연구 등의 장기적인 관찰적 역학 연구가 반드시 필요하다. 이를 위하여서는 신장학자들의 지속적인 연구뿐만 아니라 제도 개선 및 개발들이 반드시 동반되어야 할 것이다.
