Patient's question:
Half a month ago, I started feeling pain in my waist. Later, my family said it might be in the area of the kidney. But if the kidney has been hurting like this, could it be that I have kidney disease? What kind of tests should I do for this? Also, what are the different types of kidney disease? Is it difficult to treat once you get it?Doctor's answer:
It is not appropriate to assume kidney disease simply based on kidney pain. The classification of kidney diseases can be based on etiology, pathogenesis, histomorphology, or clinical manifestations. Clinical classification is entirely based on clinical manifestations and only reflects one aspect of the disease's nature. Pathological classification is based on histomorphology. Currently, both classification methods are used in clinical practice. However, they belong to different concepts. There are many causes of pediatric kidney disease. If a child is diagnosed with pediatric kidney disease, parents need to cooperate with the doctor in timely treatment, support gastrointestinal decompression, and develop good hygiene habits. The child should maintain a balanced diet and avoid stimulating and cold foods.
