Summary

Serum biochemistry can differentiate traumatic intraperitoneal bladder perforation (IBP) from extraperitoneal bladder perforation (EBP) in children. IBP patients show higher creatinine and potassium, and lower sodium levels, aiding diagnosis when findings are unclear.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Surgery
  • Trauma Management
  • Clinical Biochemistry

Background:

  • Traumatic bladder perforation requires accurate differentiation between intraperitoneal (IBP) and extraperitoneal (EBP) types.
  • Distinguishing IBP from EBP can be challenging with subtle clinical and radiological findings.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate if serum biochemistry alterations can differentiate between traumatic intraperitoneal bladder perforation (IBP) and extraperitoneal bladder perforation (EBP) in children.
  • To identify specific biochemical markers indicative of IBP versus EBP.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 32 children with traumatic bladder perforation.
  • Patients categorized into IBP and EBP groups, further subdivided by presentation time (early <24h, late >24h).

  • Comparison of demographic, hemodynamic, and serum biochemical parameters (urea, creatinine, sodium, potassium, chloride).

    • Main Results:

    • No significant differences in age, sex, injury mechanism, or hemodynamics between IBP and EBP groups.
    • EBP group showed normal biochemical parameters.
    • IBP group exhibited significantly higher creatinine and potassium, and lower sodium levels, irrespective of presentation time.
    • Elevated serum urea was noted in late-presenting IBP patients.

    Conclusions:

    • Serum creatinine, potassium, and sodium levels can differentiate IBP from EBP in pediatric trauma patients.
    • Elevated urea suggests late presentation of IBP.
    • Biochemical analysis offers a valuable tool for diagnosing traumatic bladder perforation types when other findings are equivocal.
