Question

My child, who is 8 years old, has pediatric allergic purpura nephritis. The hospital examination showed: urine protein 2+ and hematuria 2+. When can the condition of pediatric allergic purpura nephritis be healed?

Answer

The primary treatment for pediatric allergic purpura nephritis is hormone therapy. The child currently has both proteinuria and hematuria, and the treatment course usually lasts for 3 to 6 months. Regular checks of urine routine and 24-hour urine protein quantification are required. Since the child is only 7 years old, if it is possible to persuade and persist, Chinese medicine can be taken. It is recommended to take some traditional Chinese medicine preparations such as Jinshuibao, Liushuihuangwan, etc., after the disease is controlled and under the condition of reducing the use of hormones.
