Problems that should be paid attention to in the treatment of children's kidney disease

The treatment of children's kidney disease is a focus issue in modern society, and it is also a problem that parents are most worried about. The following experts introduce some issues that should be paid attention to in the treatment of children's kidney disease to parents and friends, hoping to be helpful to parents.

Infection is a relatively sensitive condition for any population, especially children. Therefore, it is necessary to avoid various (respiratory and digestive) infections as much as possible, which can lead to kidney disease recurrence and frequent recurrence, which is detrimental to the condition. In addition to severe edema, avoid long-term salt intolerance, especially in summer, which can cause hyponatremia syndrome or even shock and convulsion. Using low salt (2 grams per day) commercially available soy sauce that contains about 2 grams of sodium per 10 ml can not only avoid the occurrence of hyponatremia, but also improve appetite.

What measures should be taken to prevent infection? Can antibiotics be used? During the acute phase of treatment, preventive immunity is temporarily delayed. In case of infection, blind use of antibiotics, especially nephrotoxic antibiotics, should be avoided, and large doses or unreasonable use of diuretics should be avoided. Blind diuresis often leads to hypovolemic shock, hypercoagulability, and thrombosis.

The first glucocorticoid used in treatment has a strictly prescribed dose and course of treatment, and should not be reduced or stopped halfway. Some cases are highly sensitive to hormones, and once treated, urinary protein decreases and swelling disappears. If "stop as soon as you feel better," blindly reducing the dose or stopping the medication based on superficial symptoms often leads to recurrence or relapse. Adhere to the outpatient follow-up of kidney specialist to facilitate long-term observation, and it is best to follow up for 5 years after treatment remission. Regularly review blood biochemistry (renal function, etc.) and urine routine to determine the drug effect and the change and recovery of the condition, so as to facilitate adjustment of the treatment plan during follow-up.

The above are the issues that need attention during the treatment of children with kidney disease. Due to the weak resistance of children, parents should pay attention to protection during treatment, avoid infection, and timely supplement the nutrition needed by the body, which can effectively reduce dangerous phenomena such as complications.
