Question
How to Determine If a Child Has Nephritis?
Answer
The above symptoms in children are highly likely due to excessive sweating and fluid loss, leading to an increase in urine output. If a child repeatedly experiences hematuria, and there are no other causes such as urinary tract stones, urinary tract infection, and if laboratory tests show elevated blood triglycerides and cholesterol, along with clinical manifestations like high blood pressure, proteinuria, and edema, it is necessary to consider the possibility of nephritis. A combination of kidney function tests and 24-hour urine microalbumin and kidney function test results can also be used for diagnosis.
