Medical treatment for children with late-stage renal disease

What are the symptoms of late-stage nephrotic syndrome in children? This is a topic of concern to many parents and friends. Nephrotic syndrome in children can cause serious physical and mental harm. The following experts will introduce to you the symptoms of late-stage kidney disease in children and the medical methods for late-stage kidney disease in children.

As the disease of nephrotic syndrome in children continues to progress, the basic clinical manifestations in the late stage will be proteinuria, hematuria, hypertension, edema, etc. The disease may be delayed due to poor early treatment, or it may be in the late stage once diagnosed, which varies from person to person. The lesions of nephrotic syndrome in children progress slowly, and there may be varying degrees of renal impairment, which will eventually develop into chronic renal failure. Due to the different pathological types and stages of nephrotic syndrome in children, the main clinical manifestations are also different, and the disease manifestations are diverse.

Hematuria and proteinuria worsen: Urinalysis can detect moderate to severe proteinuria and hematuria, generally ≥3+;

Increased edema: Edema in children with nephrotic syndrome starts with eyelid swelling and spreads to other parts of the body, including the face, lower limbs, and even the whole body.

Hypertension: Due to severe damage to the glomeruli, long-term blood circulation disorders lead to glomerular ischemia and hypoxia, and the high blood pressure in the blood vessels cannot be relieved, resulting in hypertension. The more severe the kidney damage, the more severe the hypertension. This is called: renal hypertension. Conversely, once the child develops hypertension, it will aggravate kidney damage, and the two form a vicious circle.

Of course, children with nephrotic syndrome will also experience symptoms related to renal failure, such as nausea, when the disease develops to the late stage.

Nephrotic syndrome in children is a common kidney disease in children. Except for a small part of the cases that are transformed from nephrotic syndrome, most of them belong to nephrotic syndrome. Some are secondary to systemic diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, Henoch-Schonlein purpura, etc., while others cannot find any primary cause and only have the symptoms of nephrotic syndrome. The early symptoms of nephrotic syndrome in children include eyelid edema, hematuria, and increased foam in urine.

The expert gave a brief introduction to the late-stage symptoms of nephrotic syndrome. We hope that everyone will take it seriously. Do not underestimate a child's nephrotic syndrome. Treat it early and take protective measures for the child to prevent the body from being harmed again.
