What are the symptoms of diabetes nephropathy in children?
1. According to nephrology experts, the symptoms of children's diabetes nephropathy are generally typical. Once it is onset, it is very obvious in the early stage. Almost 100% of children will drink and urinate more, and there will be increased nocturnal urination and thirst for water at night.
2. Eating too much is also a common symptom of children with diabetes nephropathy. The degree of increase in food consumption can vary. Some children's food consumption has slightly increased compared with the previous ones, and some children's food consumption will even double. However, there are also children who may lack symptoms of overeating, with the main manifestations being weight loss and fatigue.
Therefore, children with diabetes nephropathy are far from the same. Its onset is due to the islets of the pancreas β Damage to cells causes a decrease in insulin secretion in the child's body. When more than 90% of the pancreatic islets β When cells are damaged, the clinical symptoms of diabetes nephropathy will appear. Generally, it starts quickly, and the symptoms of diabetes nephropathy often appear suddenly.
Due to the urgency of the onset of the disease, parents can often recall the specific time when the symptoms began. Most children with diabetes nephropathy are type I diabetes nephropathy, and islets of langerhans β Cell damage is already severe, so insulin therapy must be started immediately after diagnosis to maintain life.
Therefore, parents should be vigilant. Children are also a group of people prone to kidney disease, so urine testing needs to start with children. One of the most sensitive and important indicators of early renal disease is microalbumin, which serves the purpose of early detection and early knowledge.
