Experts point out that the clinical treatment of pediatric renal fibrosis is very complex. Sometimes it can also easily recur and be more controlled. So what should we pay attention to in daily kidney fibrosis?
To treat pediatric renal fibrosis, please pay attention to the following three points:
1、 Long term treatment for renal fibrosis in children
Kidney fibrosis in children should be treated for a long time, and some patients may even require lifelong treatment. This disease has a strong genetic background, and although medication can effectively alleviate the condition so far, it cannot be completely cured, so long-term medication is necessary. Some patients stop taking medication without authorization due to concerns about side effects of the medication or listening to doctors, and the condition often repeats.
When lupus is in the active phase and the renal inflammatory response is severe, it usually requires high-dose, combined treatment with several drugs (such as hormones, fipronil, etc., known as induction phase treatment), with the aim of quickly controlling inflammation and preventing further aggravation of kidney damage. After activity control, it is switched to low-dose drug maintenance therapy to prevent recurrence and protect kidney function (maintenance therapy). Long term use of high-dose medication will inevitably bring complications, but if maintenance treatment is not carried out, it can also cause repeated activity of lupus, worsening kidney damage, and may eventually develop into renal failure. Therefore, during the treatment process, timely adjustment of treatment should be made based on lupus activity. We should have a long-term plan and avoid discontinuing medication arbitrarily or blindly taking medication for a long time after the condition improves.
2、 The treatment plan for pediatric renal fibrosis varies from person to person
The treatment plan for pediatric renal fibrosis varies from person to person. Children with lupus erythematosus renal fibrosis have varying degrees of individual severity and various types, and different treatment plans should be adopted for different patients and types. The treatment method of high-dose hormone combined with intravenous cyclophosphamide, which is currently commonly used in clinical practice, is not suitable for all patients with renal fibrosis. And choose to use anti lupus drugs under the guidance of doctors based on clinical conditions and kidney biopsy. In long-term maintenance therapy, the combination of Chinese and Western medicine not only has good effects and fewer side effects, but patients can also live and work normally.
3、 The treatment of pediatric renal fibrosis should emphasize the concept of holistic treatment
The treatment of pediatric renal fibrosis should emphasize the concept of holistic treatment. Due to lupus being a systemic disease, while controlling renal fibrosis activity, attention should be paid to protecting renal function and other important organs such as the heart, lungs, or brain for treatment and protection.
Editor's reminder: Children with renal fibrosis should never listen to doctors or blindly believe in folk remedies, and accept unprofessional, unscientific, and non-standard treatment methods. We should choose a formal specialized hospital, where doctors develop a long-term treatment and recovery plan based on their own condition characteristics, and conduct regular examinations.
