Question
What are the symptoms of pediatric kidney disease?
Answer
Pediatric kidney disease is a common condition with the exact pathogenesis not yet fully understood, possibly related to infections and autoimmune reactions. It is a group of clinical diagnostic syndromes that often present with symptoms such as large amounts of proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, hypercholesterolemia, and hypertension. Generally, it is triggered by upper respiratory infections and allergies, and timely treatment is essential to prevent recurrence, which may include facial edema or lower limb edema, oliguria, and hematuria. The treatment depends greatly on the specific pathological type of the disease in infants, as there is a possibility of relapse during the treatment process, and continuous treatment for up to two years may be required.
