Treatment of chronic glomerulonephritis in children

Recently, many parents are very concerned about the disease of nephritis, especially in children. Perhaps for most people, this disease is very difficult to treat because it is very complicated. But when it happens, we should learn to face it bravely and find solutions quickly instead of being afraid. Regarding this issue, let me tell you about the treatment methods of chronic glomerulonephritis in children?

Children's bodies are not yet mature and are in a continuous growth and development process, so their disease resistance is relatively weak. Their kidney physiology, pathology, clinical manifestations, and treatments are different from those of adults. Upper respiratory tract infection, tonsillitis, pharyngitis, scarlet fever, purulent skin diseases, etc. can cause recurrence of kidney disease in children. Therefore, children with kidney disease should actively prevent and treat infections, avoid cold stimulation and humid environments, and improve their physical fitness and disease resistance.

1. General treatment and adequate rest. When the condition is stable, appropriate activities and exercises are allowed. When the condition is severe or during an acute attack, the patient should rest in bed. At the same time, it provides sufficient amounts of vitamin B complex and vitamin C. The diet is mainly focused on controlling salt and water. It should be restricted when there is high blood pressure or heart failure, but generally no strict restrictions are required. Provide a low-protein diet, mainly sugar and fat, to supplement calories.

2. Prevent infection. Since respiratory and intestinal infections can often induce renal failure, prevention should be actively carried out. If infection exists, it should be controlled in time. Drugs that cause great damage to the kidneys, such as kanamycin, polymyxin, gentamicin, etc., should be avoided as much as possible. Chronic infection lesions should be cured to reduce recurrence of the disease.

3. Treatment with traditional Chinese medicine focuses on clearing away heat and dampness, and regulating the spleen and kidneys. Chen’s Nephritis Formula is often used. There is also a prescription: Anemarrhena asphodeloides 9g, Phellodendron chinense 9g, Dioscorea batatas 15g, Poria cocos 15g, Codonopsis pilosula 15g, Rehmannia glutinosa 15g, Alisma orientalis 9g. The following medicines can be added according to the symptoms: If there is palpitations, add 9g of duckweed. For oliguria, add 30g of red beans and 15g of plantain. If symptoms of spleen and kidney failure (uremia) appear, the treatment is to support Yin and promote the flow of qi, and Fu Zi Li Zhong Tang with alkali is often used. Prescription: Aconite 9g, Cinnamon 4.5g, Codonopsis pilosula 15g, Poria 15g, Tangerine peel 9g, Magnolia officinalis 4.5g, Rhubarb 6g, Pinellia 9g.
