Question
Why does a 3-year-old child with kidney disease have reduced urination?
Answer
Kidney disease in children is generally of the minimal change type, with good treatment outcomes. If there is reduced urination, it may be an indication of declining kidney function. It is recommended that if the child has minimal change kidney disease, they should undergo standardized treatment. The urine output should increase, and swelling should subside, although the treatment period will be longer. Parents should take their child to a doctor promptly, avoid using unlicensed medications, and closely monitor the condition to help the child receive timely treatment.
