How long does it take to treat nephritis in children?

Nowadays, many children suffer from nephritis. There are many causes of nephritis. It may be caused by genetic factors or by a viral infection of the kidneys when the child was in the fetal stage. The impact of nephritis on children's bodies is relatively large. In serious cases, it will also be harmful to their health. Parents will actively take measures to treat it. So how long does it take to treat nephritis in children?

As the disease changes, the incidence of chronic childhood kidney disease has increased rapidly in the past 10 years. Early detection and improvement of the diagnosis and treatment of children with kidney disease, and prevention and delay of the occurrence of uremia are urgent issues for children with kidney disease. Most children with kidney disease can be cured, but some are delayed due to treatment or treatment delays, and the disease progresses to a certain state and eventually develops into chronic renal failure. Therefore, it is particularly important to make a clear diagnosis and determine the prognosis for children with kidney disease.

General treatment requires bed rest, a low-salt, low-protein diet, and the amount of protein and water per kilogram of body weight per day. Treatment can be based on the principles of acute nephritis. Correct metabolic acidosis and prevent and treat hyperkalemia.

Prevention and treatment:

As for whether pediatric nephritis can be cured, generally speaking, it can still be cured as long as it is discovered and treated in time. However, the treatment timing of some children has been delayed, which can easily develop into chronic nephritis and even lead to chronic renal failure, so the prognosis is relatively poor. Therefore, the key to treating pediatric nephritis is early detection and early treatment.

Symptoms:

Although younger children cannot complain of uncomfortable symptoms, parents can make a basic judgment based on their children's daily behaviors.

The color of hematuria is bright red like wash water, and some are dark brown. Usually this visible hematuria disappears within 1-2 weeks. Parents must pay more attention to the patient's physical condition. If they are slightly uncomfortable, they should be checked and treated in time.

In the early stages of the disease, urine volume decreases significantly, edema worsens, breathing becomes rapid, heart rate increases, and irritability occurs, and the condition rapidly deteriorates. There may also be difficulty breathing, inability to lie flat, pale complexion, cold limbs, and frequent coughing, which indicates that the child may have heart failure, which is very dangerous and parents must pay more attention.
