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.
