Question
What to Do About Pediatric Nephritic Syndrome?
Answer
Pediatric nephritic syndrome should first identify the cause, which is commonly due to family hereditary diseases, congenital kidney disease complex, or primary glomerulonephritis. Excluding the first two causes, primary glomerulonephritis is considered first. The nephrotic syndrome caused by primary glomerulonephritis in children is mainly characterized by microscopic changes in pathology, with clinical manifestations of simple massive proteinuria without hematuria, which can be diagnosed through clinical symptoms and signs. Treatment mainly involves the use of corticosteroids to suppress immune-inflammatory reactions. Microscopic change type kidney disease is relatively sensitive to corticosteroid treatment, with good effects, and most cases can turn urine protein negative within a month.
