Things to pay attention to in the middle stage of children's kidney disease

Kidney disease is an extremely terrible disease that even adults are afraid of. Therefore, children's kidney disease can cause great harm to children, and the treatment of children's kidney disease is not a simple matter. So, what are the things to pay attention to in the middle stage of children's kidney disease? I hope parents can understand these things. Here I will introduce the precautions for the treatment of children's kidney disease.

1. In order to prevent children from taking large amounts of hormones for a long time and affecting their growth and development, calcium tablets and cod liver oil must be added during the treatment of children's kidney disease to avoid affecting calcium and phosphorus metabolism. Other attention should also be paid to the effects on the endocrine and neuropsychiatric aspects of the children. For example, the children may become restless, hyperactive, irritable, or have diabetes.

2. When using cyclophosphamide, the effect on the gonadal development of the child should be fully considered. The timing of medication should be selected according to the age and gender of the child to try to avoid causing infertility in the child in the future. In the treatment of pediatric kidney disease, attention should also be paid to the other side effects of cyclophosphamide on the child's physiological and psychological effects. During hydration, attention should also be paid to the amount and speed of infusion to avoid causing unnecessary pain.

3. Emphasize the importance of Chinese medicine treatment. Chinese medicine can play three roles in the treatment of pediatric kidney disease: ① Direct protein elimination; ② Counteracting the toxic side effects of Western medicine; ③ Preventing repeated infections. Many nephrology experts have reached a consensus that the combination of Chinese and Western medicine in the treatment of kidney disease is indeed better than Western medicine alone. In addition, the role of protecting the spleen and stomach is emphasized in the treatment of Chinese medicine.

4. Actively prevent or control infection. First, the resistance of kidney disease patients is reduced, which makes them susceptible to infection. Second, once the body is infected, it will directly affect the efficacy of kidney disease treatment. Due to factors such as age, many children cannot correctly express their condition, which can easily lead to missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis. Therefore, children should have a comprehensive physical examination regularly and take medication in time if the condition is found. This is one of the precautions for the treatment of kidney disease in children.

The above is an introduction to the precautions for treating children's kidney disease. It is for your reference only. For a disease like children's kidney disease, early treatment is very important. In addition, if you have any questions about the treatment of children's kidney disease, please go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time.
