3.4 Renal function related parameters characteristics after HCMV infection in children of different ages
In order to investigate the effect of HCMV infection on renal function, the changes of CREA and UREA were investigated (Table 4). We found that there was no significant difference in CREA and UREA between HCMV-infected groups aged from 0 to 6y and their control groups (P >0.05) (Table 4). However, CREA levels were significantly higher than normal in three HCMV-infected children aged 0d-21d (Table 4). Therefore, we speculate that HCMV infection has little influence on children aged 0d-6y, or the probability that HCMV infection has influence on CREA or UREA is rare.
