Objectives: The purpose of this study was to examine correlation between Heart Rate Variability and urine analysis of women with urinary disturbance. Methods: We studied 34 patients visiting ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$hospital from January 2010 to September 2010. The subjects were categorized in two groups, symptom group (n=11) and no symptom group(n=23). We studied the difference of Heart Rate Variability and urine analysis between two groups by Student T-test and correlation between Heart Rate Variability and urine analysis by Pearson's correlation coefficient test using SPSS for windows (version 17.0). Results: Occult blood of symptom group was significantly higher than no symptom group. SDNN, TP and HF of symptom group was significantly lower than no symptom group. Occult blood and SDNN, occult blood and RMS-SD, occult blood and HF significantly showed negative correlation coefficient. pH and TP, pH and LF significantly showed positive correlation coefficient. Conclusion: The results suggest that urinary disturbance can be related to decreased activity of autonomic nervous system. Also urine from women with urinary disturbance tend to show higher occult blood.

The metabolic disturbance and nephrotoxicity induced by sodium dichromate (20 mg/kg, SC) have been diminished by the administration of Korean red ginseng extract (100 mg/kg, PO). Red ginseng has a powerful potency on the blood urea nitrogen (BUN) increment shown in the early 2h after dichromate intoxication. It normalized the dichromate induced hepatic glycogenolysis. The effect of red ginseng on dichromate induced nephrotoxicity was investigated by hematological analysis, and urinalysis. Ginseng treatment significantly reduced the increases in the urinary excretion of protein and glucose. These effects were dose dependent. Ginseng protected the accumulation of BUN and cretonne in the blood, caused by dichromate intoxication. Unlike CaEDTA, ginseng did not change the urinary excretion chromium. And it could not convert htxavalent chromium to trivalent chromium. These results suggest that ginseng treatment is effective in decreasing the metabolic disturbance, one of the earliest signs of dichromate toxicity, resulting in the protective effect of dichromate induced renal damage.
