| Abstract | ||
| This study was carried out to estimate the concentration of colanic Acid in the urine samples obtained from 66 patients with hematuria , where (21 ) patients with microscopic hematuria , (32) patients with gross hematuria , and (13) patients with terminal hematuria . Also , (15) healthy individuals with no history of hematuria were included in this study as control group. The results of this study showed that colanic acid was detected at high levels in (10) patients with microscopic hematuria and in (16) patients with gross hematuria where the results are above the control group ( 27± 9.0 and 18.0 ± 3.9 respectively) where as the urine samples of patients with terminal hematuria had normal levels similar to that in control group. Malonyldialdehyde (MDA) was also estimated in the urine of patients with hematuria . The results of MDA were not significant although some patients showed high levels for this parameter in their urine samples. | ||
