What are the characteristics of childhood kidney disease?

Everyone should protect their kidneys well. Problems with the kidneys will have an impact on future life, especially for male friends. Kidney disease is a relatively common disease. Although kidney disease is not a major disease, it has a serious impact on our physical and mental health. Therefore, in daily life, we should pay more attention to our physical health problems, otherwise it is easy to cause kidney disease. The following editor will introduce to you the characteristics of kidney disease in children.

1. Weakness. When kidney function is poor, many wastes are difficult to excrete through urine, resulting in a lack of energy, fatigue, and other symptoms of weakness. When kidney disease occurs, nutrients such as protein leak out of the kidneys and are excreted through urine, which can also cause weakness. Some patients may think that they are overworked or have other reasons, and ignore kidney problems.

2. Not wanting to eat. Not wanting to eat, anorexia, or even nausea and vomiting are also common symptoms of kidney disease. Some patients always go to the gastroenterology or hepatology department first to see if they have stomach or liver disease. If they find that they don’t have stomach or liver disease, they just leave it alone and forget to see a nephrologist, which delays the disease.

3. Foamy urine. There are many reasons for foamy urine. If protein leaks from the kidneys into the urine, the urine will be foamy.

4. Lower back pain. The kidneys are located on both sides of the spine in the lower back, so when the kidneys are sick, you will feel lower back pain.

5. Urinating more or less. A healthy person urinates about 46 times a day, with a urine volume of about 800-2000 ml. If the frequency of urination and urine volume are too much or too little, you should pay attention.

6. Edema. Drinking too much water, sleeping too long, being too fat, etc. may cause slight edema or transient edema in the eyelids, face, calves, etc. If this is not the case, you should suspect that there is a problem with your kidneys.
