Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: - age 12-48 months The inclusion of participants will be devided in two phases. In the first phase, 110 participants will be included, in which the variability of albuminuria will be studied. In the second phase an additional number of toddlers in the same age range will be included to determine the prevalence of microalbuminuria over the total study population. Once we know the day-to-day variability in albuminuria in this population we will be able to perform a powercalculation to determine the sample size for phase 2 of the study.
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - Known renal disease of the child - Current infection of the urinary tract
