Answer
Hello, this condition is more common in older children and young adults, with most children developing the disease between the ages of 3 to 15. Symptoms include mild to moderate proteinuria, which may or may not be accompanied by hematuria, with a urine protein excretion of less than 1.5 grams in 24 hours. For patients with mild or moderate membranous changes, no special treatment is required. For those with a urine protein excretion of 1-2g/24h, standard doses of corticosteroids can be used to shorten the duration of disease remission and reduce kidney pathological changes. In addition, it is important to ensure that the child gets adequate rest, engages in appropriate physical activity, eats a balanced diet, strengthens their physique, enhances immunity, avoids exposure to harmful substances and medications, reduces bodily harm, and prevents the occurrence of the disease.
