It is not uncommon for kidney disease to invade children's health, and chronic nephritis is a particularly common kidney disease. After illness, children may exhibit some obvious clinical manifestations, which is a reliable basis for us to promptly detect the condition of chronic nephritis. Below is an introduction to the main symptoms that children may experience.
1： Eyelid edema
During the onset of the disease, children often experience symptoms of eyelid swelling after waking up in the morning, but this is often overlooked because the swelling disappears after the child's activity. The kidneys' ability to excrete and regulate water is damaged, resulting in an increase in water and sodium in the child's body. Excessive water accumulates in loose tissue in the body, and the eyelids are the areas with more loose tissue.
2： Hematuria
The appearance of this symptom is sometimes visible, and sometimes it can only be detected through professional examination methods at the hospital. Hematuria with the naked eye is visible to the naked eye, with a urine color resembling meat washing water, cloudy and red in color. Some children may have blood streaks or clots in their urine; Microscopic hematuria can only be observed under a microscope, with more than one red blood cell count per high-power field of view. Hematuria is the most common symptom in most children with chronic nephritis. Of course, there are many reasons for hematuria, and nephritis is just one of them. Therefore, when parents discover unexplained hematuria in children, they should seek medical attention promptly. Perform relevant tests according to the doctor's advice, and if necessary, perform routine urine tests to rule out the possibility of renal hematuria.
3： Increased foam in urine
In the process of clinical onset, the earliest symptom of children is the change of urine, in which the increase of foam in urine is the most common. The increase of foam in urine, mainly smaller foam, is interconnected and cannot be dissipated for a long time, which indicates that there is protein in the urine of children and the tension is high. Of course, the accuracy of this symptom is poor. If one does not have a certain level of medical knowledge, it is often overlooked by parents or children. The simplest way is to go to the hospital to check urine to rule out the possibility of proteinuria.
Due to the different constitutions and conditions of each child in daily life, the pathological characteristics that children may experience after suffering from chronic nephritis are also different. The above clinical manifestations can serve as the main basis for us to determine the invasion of chronic nephritis in children, and we should also pay attention to analyzing the specific condition of the child.
