Nowadays, children have a really high probability of developing nephrotic syndrome, and if not treated promptly, it can easily cause great regret to children throughout their lifetime. When a child suffers from nephrotic syndrome, parents and friends should not only cooperate with doctors and encourage the child to actively treat, but also pay attention to the daily care of the child. So how should children with nephrotic syndrome be cared for?
We have briefly summarized some nursing methods for children with nephrotic syndrome, hoping to help parents and friends. The first choice is to remind the child. Pay attention to rest: When severe edema and hypertension occur, it is necessary to rest in bed. Generally, there is no need to strictly restrict activities. According to the condition, appropriate cultural and recreational activities are arranged to make the patient happy. And we should help children prevent infection: children with kidney disease and children with infectious diseases should be treated in separate rooms. Avoid getting cold and going to crowded places.
In addition to the two nursing methods mentioned above, attention should also be paid to some dietary issues. To ensure the healthy diet of children: It is advisable to ensure that the intake of calories and protein is controlled at about 2 g/kg per day. Short-term salt restriction when there is significant edema or hypertension. Attention to daily edema in children: Those with severe edema should avoid intramuscular injection of drugs as much as possible. Severe edema often leads to drug retention, poor absorption, or extravasation of drug solution through needle holes after injection, resulting in local moisture, erosion, or infection.
The above is a simple summary of our daily care methods for everyone. I hope it can help parents and friends better care for children's patients, and I hope all children can have a healthy and happy childhood!
