Mid-term treatment of childhood kidney disease

The main population for prevention of kidney disease is adults, but it also occurs among teenagers and children. Since children's body tolerance is relatively weaker, the cure rate during dialysis will be relatively lower, which will affect children's health. Currently, children's kidney disease can be treated through a combination of Chinese and Western medicine.

Principles of Western medicine treatment: There is currently no specific treatment method. The treatment in the acute phase is mainly symptomatic, correcting pathological and physiological abnormalities, preventing serious complications in the acute phase, and protecting kidney function to facilitate natural recovery, such as anti-infection, diuresis and blood pressure reduction.
Traditional Chinese Medicine treatment methods: Traditional Chinese Medicine believes that the treatment of acute nephritis in children must be divided into two stages: the acute phase and the recovery phase. In the acute phase, it is advisable to induce sweating, promote diuresis and reduce swelling, and clear away heat and detoxify. Clearing away heat and detoxifying are especially important parts of the treatment of acute nephritis. In the recovery phase, it is advisable to clear away heat and dampness, nourish yin and invigorate qi. Commonly used prescriptions include Wuwei Xiaodu Yin combined with Sanmiao Pills with modifications, Shenling Baizhu San with modifications, etc.
When a child is found to have kidney disease, he or she should be urged to pay more attention to rest, try to avoid overwork, and avoid eating salty foods to avoid aggravating the degree of edema. Clothing should also be loose to prevent skin infection and worsening of the condition. At the same time, drug abuse should be avoided.
