What is the cause of swollen eyelids?

Patient's question:

A few days ago, a blister similar to a burn appeared on my child's eyelid. Later, after the blister disappeared, it was found that the eyelid was swollen, which did not subside for several days.

Doctor's answer:

Your condition may be glomerulonephritis. Glomerulonephritis is a non-purulent inflammatory lesion of both kidneys. Due to damage to the glomeruli, symptoms such as edema, high blood pressure, and proteinuria may occur, making it the most common type of kidney disease. There are many types of nephritis, including acute nephritis, chronic nephritis, pyelonephritis, occult nephritis, allergic purpura nephritis, and lupus nephritis. It is recommended to undergo a kidney biopsy for diagnosis before symptomatic treatment.
