What causes kidney disease in children?

According to surveys, kidney disease is currently a disease with a relatively high prevalence rate. Of course, the harm it causes to patients is also not small. In fact, children are also a group with a relatively high incidence rate, which seriously affects the lives of patients. Let’s talk about the specific causes of kidney disease in children. I hope it will be helpful to parents.

1. Infection: Colds, tonsillitis, fever, etc. may cause visible blood or occult blood in the urine, and repeated infections may lead to the occurrence of IgA nephropathy.

2. Immune complex: A large amount of immune complex substances are deposited in the glomerular mesangial area of ​​patients with IgA nephropathy. The combination of the two can cause phenotypic transformation of renal intrinsic cells and lead to the occurrence of the disease.

3. Genetics: A survey of patients with IgA nephropathy showed that some patients with IgA nephropathy would have family cohesion, which shows that IgA nephropathy has a genetic tendency to a certain extent.

4. Inflammatory response: The patient's renal glomerular mesangial cells are stimulated by inflammatory damage and produce inflammatory factors, which leads to the precipitation of a large number of immune complexes in the patient's kidneys, ultimately causing the occurrence of the disease.

The above is an introduction to the main causes of children’s kidney disease. That’s all I have to say. Children’s kidney disease is very harmful to the human body. Parents should pay more attention to understanding the disease and receive timely treatment.
