Incidence of important clinicopathological conditions.

Variables	Percentage
Proteinuria	68%
Hematuria	50%
Anemia	68%
Iron def.	59%
Microcytosis	32%
Uremia	36%
Jaundice	18%
Hypoalbuminemia	27%
Neutrophilia	72%

Attributes: proteinuria = spot urinary protein >30 mg/dL; hematuria = >3 RBCs/hpf in urine; anemia = Hb <12 gm%; iron deficiency = transferrin saturation <20%; microcytosis = MCV < 80 fL; uremia = blood urea >45 mg%/serum creatinine >1.5 mg%; jaundice = bilirubin >2.5 mg%; hypoalbuminemia <3 gm%; neutrophilia = TLC > 11 × 10³/L.
