Patient's question:
Bilateral lower extremity skin has petechiae, urinalysis shows protein 1+, white blood cells 1+, with occult blood, microscopic examination shows obvious red blood cells, purpura causing nephritis.Doctor's answer:
Hello! Purpura nephritis is kidney damage caused by allergic purpura. When the kidneys are damaged, the permeability of the glomerular filtration membrane increases, leading to the leakage of protein and red blood cells, which is reflected in abnormal urinalysis results. The repeated episodes of the child's condition are directly related to previous treatments, indicating that the previous treatments were not comprehensive. Each recurrence of the condition worsens the kidney damage, ultimately leading to kidney failure and uremia.Recommendations:
Currently, the child's condition is not about finding an authoritative hospital for treatment but rather about finding the best treatment plan suited to the child's specific condition. It is recommended to adopt a standardized, systematic integrated traditional Chinese and Western medicine treatment approach. Western medicine can address symptoms, while traditional Chinese medicine and herbal remedies can repair the damaged kidneys. Once the kidneys are adequately repaired, protein and red blood cells will no longer leak, and the condition can reach clinical remission, preventing further recurrences. This will have no impact on the child's future growth and development, daily life, or ability to work.
Lifestyle and dietary precautions:
It is recommended that the child maintain adequate rest, avoid overexertion, prevent colds, and avoid exposure to allergens. In terms of diet, a low-fat, high-quality protein diet should be followed, with a preference for light, bland foods. Spicy, stimulating, fried, and deep-fried foods should be avoided. Fresh fruits and vegetables, eggs, milk, and freshwater fish can be consumed.
Wishing the child a speedy recovery!
