Schistosomiasis and hydration status: Schistosoma haematobium , but not Schistosoma mansoni increases urine specific gravity among rural Tanzanian women
Objectives Schistosome infections can damage organs important for water homeostasis, especially the kidneys. Urogenital schistosomiasis (caused by Schistosoma haematobium) increases protein and blood in urine and intestinal schistosomiasis (caused by S. mansoni) affects total body water. However, no data exist on how different schistosome species affect urine specific gravity (USG), a hydration biomarker. Therefore, we assessed the relationship b…
