Symptoms of renal hematuria in children

In life, children’s illness is a common concern for parents. Children are the flowers of the motherland and the apple of their parents' eyes. Their hope is that their children can grow up healthily, so if their children get sick, the parents will be extremely anxious. So parents will seek medical advice and medicine everywhere, trying to find a suitable way to solve their children's illness. What are the symptoms of renal hematuria in children?

Renal hematuria, as the name suggests, means that the hematuria comes from the kidneys. Once the intrinsic cells of the kidney are destroyed, inflammatory cells infiltrate and cause an inflammatory reaction. The glomerular filtration membrane will be obstructed and too many red blood cells will pass through the filtration membrane and be excreted in the urine. In a routine urine test, if the red blood cells in the urine exceed the above indicators and are positive, it is called renal hematuria.

1. Hematuria: Hematuria can be divided into macroscopic hematuria and microscopic hematuria. Gross hematuria is hematuria that can be seen with the naked eye. The urine is meat-washing water-like, turbid and red. Some children have blood streaks or blood clots in their urine. Microscopic hematuria can only be detected under a microscope, with more than 1 red blood cell count per high-power field of view.

Hematuria is the most common symptom in most patients with chronic nephritis. Of course, there are many causes of hematuria, and nephritis is just one of them. Therefore, when parents find that their children have unexplained hematuria, they should seek medical attention promptly. Perform relevant examinations according to the doctor's advice, and if necessary, perform a urine test to rule out the possibility of renal hematuria. When the urine red blood cells are greater than 8 106/L and the abnormal red blood cells exceed 30%, it is glomerular hematuria. Therefore, the morphology of red blood cells in urine can effectively identify whether it is glomerular hematuria. However, it should be noted that the morphology of red blood cells in urine is also related to the pH and osmotic pressure of urine, so it must be carefully identified to avoid misdiagnosis. Generally, only a small part of the red blood cells in non-glomerular hematuria are deformed, while in hematuria caused by glomerular disease, more than 75% of the red blood cells have different sizes and shapes.

2. Increased foam in urine: Increased foam in urine, mainly smaller bubbles, which are connected to each other and cannot dissipate for a long time, indicating that there is protein in the urine due to high tension. Of course, this symptom is not accurate. If you don't have a certain amount of medical knowledge, you will often ignore it. The easiest way is to go to the hospital to check urine to rule out the possibility of proteinuria. The earliest change in chronic nephritis is urine.

3. Eyelid swelling: The main reason for eyelid swelling in the early stage of chronic nephritis is that the kidney's excretion and regulation of water is damaged, which causes an increase in water and sodium in the child's body. Excess water accumulates in the loose tissue of the body, and the eyelids are where there is more loose tissue. The characteristic of eyelid swelling is that it is more obvious when you wake up in the morning and subsides after activities.

After reading the above introduction to the symptoms of renal hematuria in children, I think everyone should have some understanding. I believe that when parents see these symptoms, they will have a clear understanding of their children's symptoms, so that they can quickly find methods suitable for their children, cure their children's illness as soon as possible, and avoid more trouble.
