Reasonable diet and weight control
Many parents believe that their children are in a period of growth and development and should be given a high protein and high-energy diet, but excessive intake of protein and fat can increase the burden on the kidneys. For children who have already suffered from kidney disease, give them a high-quality low protein and low salt diet, and avoid hard and fried foods; Should be light and avoid spicy and stimulating foods.
In addition, attention should be paid to controlling the child's weight. Obesity can lead to hypertension and cardiovascular disease, but kidney disease caused by obesity is not taken seriously. Obesity can lead to proteinuria, up to obesity related kidney disease. What is more noteworthy is that children who have already suffered from kidney disease, and obesity can exacerbate kidney damage.
Beware of colds and not taking medication indiscriminately

Women's treasures should pay special attention to hygiene
Infants, especially female infants, have a short urethra and the vulva is vulnerable to fecal contamination, so urinary tract infection has become one of the most common diseases of the urinary system in childhood. This is related to the bad habits of parents washing their children's genitalia, sharing a basin, and mixing inner and outer clothes, which can cause cross infection. In addition, do not hold your urine because urine often stays in the bladder for a long time, which can easily lead to bacterial proliferation, causing bacteria to infect the kidneys through the bladder and ureter, causing pyelonephritis. Once suffering from urinary tract infection, timely treatment is necessary. If treatment is delayed or improper, the condition will persist and not heal, leading to chronic and recurrent infections, leading to kidney damage and ultimately chronic renal failure.
Diligent in observing annual urine tests
Some children have abdominal pain, and parents think it's due to cold weather. When they take off their clothes, they find many bruises on their legs, which is commonly referred to as allergic purpura. Some allergic purpura may be accompanied by kidney involvement and develop into allergic purpura nephritis.

Despite the lack of specific symptoms of chronic kidney disease, fatigue, fatigue, low back pain, edema of eyelid, face, ankle joint, increased foam in urine, abnormal urine color, increased nocturnal urine, etc. often occur in the early stage. Therefore, if parents discover these symptoms, they should promptly take the child to the hospital for treatment and check the urine routine.
The key to controlling kidney disease lies in early prevention. Therefore, parents must always pay attention to their baby's kidney health, conduct regular urine routine examinations, and not miss any early signs of suspected kidney disease. Early detection and treatment should be achieved to ensure that the baby has a healthy and strong physique.
