What are the characteristics of childhood kidney disease?

Kidney disease not only occurs in adults, but also in children. When children develop kidney disease, parents are very anxious and want to cure their children's kidney disease, but they are not clear about the symptoms of their children's kidney disease. Let's take a look at the characteristics of children with kidney disease. Please see the introduction below:

1. Eyelid swelling. The main reason for eyelid swelling in the early stage of chronic nephritis in children is that the kidney's excretion and regulation of water is damaged, which increases the amount of water and sodium in the body of the child. Excessive water accumulates in the loose tissues of the body, and the eyelids are the part with more loose tissues. The characteristic of eyelid swelling is that it is obvious when getting up in the morning and subsides after activities.

2. Hematuria can be divided into macroscopic hematuria and microscopic hematuria. Macroscopic hematuria is hematuria visible to the naked eye. The urine is meat-washing water-like, turbid and red. Some children have blood streaks or blood clots in their urine. Microscopic hematuria can only be found under a microscope, with more than 1 red blood cell per high-power field of view. Hematuria is the most common symptom of most children with chronic nephritis. Of course, there are many causes of hematuria, and nephritis is just one of them. Therefore, when parents find that their children have unexplained hematuria, they should seek medical attention in time. Perform relevant examinations according to the doctor's advice, and if necessary, perform routine urine tests to rule out the possibility of renal hematuria.

3. Increased urine foam, mainly small foam, which is linked together and cannot be dispersed for a long time, indicating that the child has protein in the urine due to high tension. Of course, this symptom is not accurate. If you do not have certain medical knowledge, it will often be ignored by parents or children. The simplest treatment method is to go to the hospital to check urine to rule out the possibility of proteinuria. Because the earliest change of chronic nephritis is urine.

Do you know the characteristics of children suffering from kidney disease? I hope parents will not be too anxious about the treatment of their children's kidney disease. When a child is diagnosed with kidney disease, he or she should go to the hospital for treatment in time. Don't use some kidney disease folk remedies to treat the child because of anxiety.
