Question
What are the causes of pediatric nephritis?
Answer
Before a child is diagnosed with a kidney disease, a routine urine test is typically conducted to determine if there are any abnormalities. If any abnormal substances are found in the urine test, more specific tests will be conducted to clarify whether the condition is acute nephritis, chronic nephritis, or kidney disease. Before the tests, it is important to clean the urethral opening and collect midstream urine during the first urination in the morning for analysis to ensure the accuracy of the results.
