In real life, kidney disease poses a serious health threat to all populations, including children. In cold winter, children are very prone to catching colds, and if not completely and effectively cured in a timely manner, it may trigger pediatric nephrotic syndrome. So we must all be vigilant about pediatric nephrotic syndrome in our daily lives.
Upper respiratory tract infection is a very common risk factor for inducing kidney disease in clinical practice. There are many cases of pediatric nephrotic syndrome caused by upper respiratory tract infections during early spring or seasonal changes. This is because the weather is suddenly cool and hot, and children are prone to respiratory infections, such as colds, tonsillitis, acute pharyngitis, etc. If the infection is not effectively controlled in a timely manner, it may trigger nephrotic syndrome after 1-4 weeks.
Our adults' colds rarely provide convenient conditions for the onset of nephrotic syndrome, but children are still in a stage of growth and development, so their immunity is not sufficient to produce sufficient resistance to the virus. Children, due to their weak physique, have fewer immune cells in their bodies than normal people, and their immune function is not strong. Therefore, sometimes immune cells not only do not swallow the bacteria, but also temporarily contain them. Antibodies to the bacteria in the body combine with the bacteria themselves to form an immune complex. As the blood circulates, when they reach the kidneys, they will deposit on the basement membrane of the glomeruli, causing damage to the kidneys and causing a large amount of protein loss, Ultimately, it leads to nephrotic syndrome.
Nephrotic syndrome patients who appear around us are scattered across various age groups, but they are very common among young people and children. The onset age of Tiny Degenerative Nephrotic Syndrome is more common in children aged 2 to 6 years old, with more boys than girls, and it is prone to recurrence and extension, with a long course of disease. It usually occurs 1-4 weeks after infection with the pathogen. Generally speaking, pediatric nephrotic syndrome has pre infection symptoms, characterized by three highs and one low, namely high edema, high proteinuria, hypercholesterolemia, and hypoproteinemia. Within 1 to 4 weeks after catching a cold, the child's lower limbs, head, face, and trunk may have swelling, especially in areas with loose tissue.
Through the introduction of the above content, everyone has gained a certain understanding and understanding of the occurrence and symptoms of nephrotic syndrome in children. Everyone must pay attention to children's health in daily life to avoid the serious impact of nephrotic syndrome on children.
