What are the symptoms of nephritis in children?

I believe everyone is familiar with nephritis. Every day, many patients in hospitals seek treatment from doctors because of nephritis. However, nephritis has also given people many misconceptions. Many people think that only adults can get nephritis and never pay attention to children. In fact, children can also suffer from nephritis, and nephritis causes great inconvenience to the lives of both children and adults. So, what are the symptoms of nephritis in children?

1. Acute attacks of patients with acute glomerulonephritis and chronic glomerulonephritis are often associated with pharyngitis, tonsillitis, upper respiratory tract and skin infections. Therefore, urine routine should be checked when suffering from the above infectious diseases.

2. Although patients with glomerulonephritis lack specific symptoms, the early symptoms of nephritis in children often include fatigue, weakness, low back pain, edema of the eyelids, face, and ankles, increased foam in the urine, and abnormal urine color. Therefore, when these symptoms occur, you should go to the hospital for a urine routine test.

3. About 1/3 of patients with glomerulonephritis will experience high blood pressure. Symptoms of nephritis in children include headache, memory loss, poor sleep, etc. Patients who seek medical attention due to the above symptoms and are found to have high blood pressure must have a urine routine test, especially young patients.

4. The early symptoms of nephritis in children with chronic renal insufficiency may only be an increase in the frequency and volume of urination at night. If a healthy person does not drink a lot of water before going to bed, he should not urinate or only urinate once after sleeping at night. If he often urinates more than twice at night, he should go to the hospital to check his urine routine and kidney function.

The above is some information about the symptoms of nephritis in children. It is precisely because everyone has the illusion that children will not get nephritis that the condition of many children with nephritis becomes worse. Parents should always pay attention to their children's changes, and if they find any abnormalities in their children, they should check and treat them in time. In this way, they can avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble in their future life.
