You don't know the symptoms of kidney disease in children. Any disease requires finding the cause of the disease in order to be effectively treated. However, the cause of the disease is often not easy for you to detect, and the prominent symptoms that usually appear will not be detected by people. Especially for early symptoms of kidney disease in children, there are no obvious symptoms, and they will not be easily detected. Many times, once detected, it will be very late, and some even have reached the late stage of renal failure or uremia. So let's take a closer look at the details.
Understanding the symptoms of a child's kidney disease, because the symptoms of kidney disease are not very prominent, does not mean it does not have kidney disease symptoms. The following is an introduction to the early symptoms of kidney disease in children. I hope you will be vigilant and achieve "early testing and treatment" to reduce the side effects of the disease.
The characteristic of eyelid swelling in children is usually prominent when they wake up in the morning, but it decreases after exercise. The main causes of eyelid edema in children with early renal disease are: damage to the kidneys' ability to excrete and regulate water, resulting in an increase in water and sodium in the body of children with kidney disease. Excessive water accumulates in the body's loose tissues, and the eyelids are the areas where there are more loose tissues. The characteristic of eyelid edema is that it is obvious when getting up in the morning and decreases after activity.
Blood in urine can also be a very serious and common symptom of kidney disease in children. In addition, hematuria is also a relatively difficult symptom to detect, because there are two types of blood in urine: naked eye urine and microscopic urine. Urinary blood is visible to the naked eye, and the urine color is like meat washing water, turbid and red. Some children with kidney disease have blood strands or blood clots in their urine; Microscopic urine blood can only be detected by microscopic observation, with the number of occult blood (BLD) greater than 1 per high-power field of vision. Urinary blood is the most common symptom in most children with chronic kidney disease. Of course, there are many causes of hematuria, and kidney disease is only one of them.
Clinical manifestation: This disease often occurs at the age of 20 to 40 years, with more males than females. Typical manifestations include sudden chills, fever, renal pain, and tenderness. "In the early stages of the disease, the abscess is not connected to the renal drainage system, and there may be no discomfort in urination.". During the examination, it will be found that the renal region is full, there is tenderness in the upper abdomen, and a lump can be felt.
Laboratory examination: The white blood cell count is increased, and the urine test can be normal. Patients with diabetes may have elevated blood sugar and positive urine sugar. Renal ultrasound showed a renal abscess. CT scan can make a clear diagnosis. Puncturing an abscess under ultrasound or CT guidance is helpful for diagnosing and identifying the type of bacteria, and selecting effective antibiotics; At the same time, abscess drainage can be performed.
You don't know the symptoms of kidney disease in children. This disease not only occurs among many young people, but also among children. There are many reasons for this disease, and usually the symptoms are also the above reasons. Symptoms may appear infrequently in the early stages of change, and even if there are any, they may not be obvious. They are difficult to be detected by people. Also, because children's original marking abilities are very weak, even if there are uncomfortable areas, they may be difficult to express. I hope everyone pays more attention to the health of children
