| Summary: | Background : Acute glomerulonephritis (AGN) is the most
frequent cause of hypertension among children.
Hypertension in AGN is caused by sodium and water
retention. Sodium is an important cation in regulation
of blood pressure balance by its involvement in water
balance and peripheral resistance regulation.
Objective : To know the association between sodium plasma
level and the degree of hypertension among children with
AGN.
Method: This research is observational analytic study
with cross-sectional design. This study involving 43
pediatric patients. Data was taken from medical record
of RSUP Dr. Sardjito from 2011 until 2013.
Result: Sodium level have a very weak and not significant
correlation with systolic BP (r=0,114 |
