What to do if nephrotic syndrome relapses in children

For many families, the health of their children is of great concern to the parents, and they all hope that their children can have a healthy body. However, there are also many families that are troubled by diseases, and the unhealthy health of their children can lead to a series of problems such as family breakdown. So, how can we make our children healthier? There are many diseases that we cannot ignore. Now let us introduce nephrotic syndrome in children. What should we do if it relapses?

1. Hormone treatment for nephrotic syndrome “treats the symptoms but not the root cause”

In the treatment of nephrotic syndrome, it cannot be said that Western medicines such as hormones are ineffective. There is no doubt that hormone treatment for nephrotic syndrome can effectively eliminate symptoms in a short period of time, such as the conversion of protein and occult blood to negative. However, it should be noted that hormones can only treat the symptoms but not the root cause. Simply blocking protein and occult blood can only temporarily control the condition, but does not treat the cause of the disease - damaged kidney tissue. A certain kidney disease hospital has been advocating the use of multi-target treatment for nephrotic syndrome without the use of hormones, starting with the repair of pathological damage and kidney conditioning. Clinical investigations have found that most patients with nephrotic syndrome can achieve good treatment results, and the recurrence rate of kidney disease is significantly reduced.

2. Children are susceptible to infection and colds can make their condition worse

Patients with kidney disease generally have reduced immunity and are more susceptible to infections and colds. Children are in the growth stage, their body tissues are not yet fully developed, and they are easily susceptible to diseases. Children with kidney disease are even more helpless when facing external viruses, so it is very easy for them to catch colds and get infections that worsen their condition.

In addition to treatment, what else should parents of children with nephrotic syndrome pay attention to?

First, children with nephrotic syndrome should not overwork, and parents should always pay attention.

Children have poor self-control and will feel very fresh when they return home from the hospital. They may easily become overtired from playing and lack sleep. Parents should pay special attention to arranging their children's daily schedule and try to get enough rest.

Second, young children with nephrotic syndrome should not eat foods high in salt.

It is very important to eat less salt in the diet for children whose blood pressure has not yet returned to normal. However, meals without salt will affect appetite, so a low-salt diet is more appropriate. After the edema and high blood pressure disappear, you can improve your normal diet, but it should also be light and not too salty. Steamed buns and soda crackers also contain sodium, so it is best not to give them to children. You can let your children eat some fresh vegetables and fruits to supplement vitamins in the body.

After the relapse of nephrotic syndrome in children, we need to take a series of treatment methods to prevent and treat the recurrence of syndrome. We also hope that parents can actively treat their children so that the children can recover better and healthier and reduce the possibility of recurrence of the disease. Therefore, parents must take good care of their children's bodies and pay attention to all aspects of their daily diet.
