The incidence rate of children's kidney disease has gradually increased in recent years, and children are in the golden age of development. If a lesion occurs during this period, it can seriously affect the health of the child. When the condition reaches an uncontrollable time, it can even harm development in severe cases. Sometimes because the child's parents do not discover the symptoms of kidney disease in a timely manner, the patient's condition may become increasingly serious. Therefore, we need to know some symptoms of children's kidney disease in order to timely detect the condition of the child. Let's take a look at the symptoms of kidney disease in children.
1. Edema can harm blood circulation, leading to a decrease in local resistance, and infection can occur. When a patient has a large amount of protein in their urine, routine urine tests have found that urinary protein excretion can increase up to 24 hours. This is a symptom of kidney disease in children.
2. Some diseases can cause white or purple lines on the skin of the inner thigh and upper arm, abdomen, or chest, similar to those of pregnant women, and significantly reduce urine output. Symptoms of kidney disease are more common in these children.
3. The most obvious characteristic of kidney disease in children is the occurrence of high edema. This can lead to swelling in the lower limbs, face, and trunk of the child, especially in areas with loose tissue, such as the eyelids and the scrotum of boys, which can become swollen like a light bulb.
Some children can have edema in their lower limbs, head, face, and trunk after catching a cold. Especially in areas with loose tissue, the most obvious and earliest signs are the eyelids, and in those with severe edema, the skin is thin and transparent. "There is pleural effusion, ascites, and slight skin damage that can cause water seepage. This is a common symptom of early childhood kidney disease.".
Experts point out that children's kidney disease is a relatively common renal disease in clinical practice, but some children with kidney disease have developed to the mid or late stage of their illness when admitted to hospital for treatment, mainly because some parents are not very familiar with the symptoms of early childhood kidney disease. As a result, the optimal treatment period is delayed. Therefore, after discovering symptoms of early childhood kidney disease, we must promptly go to the hospital for examination and treatment.
Hematuria is also a common symptom of kidney disease in children. 50-70% of children with kidney disease have naked eye hematuria, which may appear as soot water or tea brown, or may appear as meat washing water. After 1-2 weeks, it turns to microscopic hematuria. Microscopic hematuria lasts for 1-3 months, with a few lasting for half a year or more. Symptoms of kidney disease in children can be accompanied by varying degrees of proteinuria. These are common symptoms of kidney disease in children.
Symptomatic renal disease in children. For children with kidney disease, parents must pay attention to the occurrence of such symptoms in life, and try to avoid them as much as possible. As long as parents learn more about the main symptoms of this disease in their daily lives, they will largely discover the symptoms in a timely manner. Therefore, people should be able to attract attention. Therefore, if you want patients to receive treatment earlier, please be more vigilant about the symptoms and manifestations of kidney disease in children. Finally, I wish everyone a speedy recovery.
