Diagnosis of late-stage renal disease in children

There are many ways to diagnose the late stage of childhood kidney disease. As long as we diagnose it carefully, childhood kidney disease will disappear from the patients. We must strengthen the care of patients with childhood kidney disease. When this type of disease is discovered, patients will have some common symptoms such as nausea and vomiting. We must strengthen our understanding of the disease and take a look at the diagnosis of late stage childhood kidney disease.

The following points describe the diagnostic process for late-stage kidney disease in children.

(1) Digestive system: nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, glossitis, urine odor in the mouth, oral mucosal ulcers, and even massive gastrointestinal bleeding.

(2) Mental and nervous system: mental depression, fatigue, dizziness, headache, memory loss, insomnia, numbness of limbs, burning sensation in hands and feet, delirium, muscle tremors, convulsions, and coma.

(3) Cardiovascular system: hypertension, arrhythmia, heart failure, myocardial damage, pericarditis, vascular sclerosis, and vascular calcification.

(4) Hematopoietic system: Severe anemia is the most prominent symptom. In the late stage, there may be a tendency to bleed, with common symptoms including epistaxis, gingival bleeding, and congestion. It may also cause hematemesis, blood in the stool, hemoptysis, hematuria, intracranial hemorrhage, and menorrhagia.

(5) Skin: Dull, dry, flaky, with urea cream, rash, and pigmentation.

(6) Metabolic acidosis: There may be varying degrees of metabolic acidosis, manifested as fatigue, nausea, vomiting, dullness, deep and long breathing, and even coma.

(7) Dehydration or edema: Due to the loss of renal tubular concentrating function and the osmotic diuresis caused by high concentration of urea, obvious polyuria occurs, coupled with vomiting, diarrhea, and drinking less water, dehydration often occurs. Entering the oliguric stage can easily lead to excessive water volume, edema, hypertension, heart failure, water intoxication and dilutional hyponatremia.

Children's kidney disease is also a type of kidney disease. When it is discovered, we must go to the hospital for treatment in time. Patients can drink more water to keep kidney disease away from our health. We must go to the hospital for treatment in time to prevent the disease from causing serious harm to our health. We should not have too much stress. The greater the stress, the more damage to our health will be.
