Question about the symptoms of relapse of kidney disease in children

Symptoms of relapse of nephropathy in children include quantitative increase of urine protein, decrease of blood albumin, edema, and increase of serum cholesterol or triglyceride. Therefore, in daily life, we should prevent the relapse of nephropathy in children. The relapse of nephropathy in children will also bring immeasurable consequences. We should strengthen prevention. However, if the disease relapses, early treatment is also possible. We should care about the life of children.

Nephrotic syndrome is not an independent disease, but a group of clinical syndromes in glomerular diseases. Typical manifestations include massive proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, edema with or without hyperlipidemia. The diagnostic criteria should be massive proteinuria and hypoproteinemia. Massive proteinuria is a characteristic of glomerular disease. Such a large amount of proteinuria is rare in renal vascular disease or tubulointerstitial disease. Since hypoproteinemia, hyperlipidemia and edema are all consequences of massive proteinuria, it is believed that the diagnostic criteria should be based on massive proteinuria.

Nephrotic syndrome in children, also known as pediatric nephropathy, has clinical features such as severe edema, massive proteinuria, hypoproteinemia, and hypercholesterolemia.

Kidney disease greatly affects children's growth and development. It is not easy to treat and often recurs. Children with kidney disease have low resistance and are prone to infection, which makes the condition worse. Infection should be actively prevented. So how should children with skin damage be cared for to achieve satisfactory clinical results?

Children with kidney disease have severe edema. Severe edema can lead to secondary infection in children with nephrotic syndrome and the risk of skin damage. The relevant nursing measures are as follows:

When male children have obvious scrotal edema, they can use a cloth bag to hold it up and keep the area clean.

Turn over regularly and massage the stressed area with safflower alcohol to promote local blood circulation. Avoid dragging, pulling, or tugging when turning over.

Prevent skin abrasions.

Trim your child's nails regularly to prevent scratching the skin and causing infection.

Bathe the child regularly to keep the skin clean. Be gentle when operating to avoid damaging the skin.

The child's clothes should be soft and loose, and should be changed promptly if soiled. The bed should be kept clean, dry, flat and wrinkle-free.

Do a good job of prevention to reduce recurrence.
