Question
An 11-year-old boy has been diagnosed with a kidney disease. The parents inquire about the appropriate medication treatment and how to deal with this situation.
Answer
For kidney diseases, it is first necessary to determine the type, such as nephritis, nephrosclerosis, or kidney insufficiency, as different types of kidney diseases require different medications. Do not take medication arbitrarily. Chronic nephritis usually manifests as proteinuria, hematuria, or both, primarily due to damage to the glomerular filtration barrier. This disease is related to immune disorder in the body, and treatment requires adjusting the body’s immune balance and repairing the glomerular filtration barrier. The specific treatment plan needs to be formulated based on the patient’s condition.
