Patient's question:
NoDoctor's answer:
During the acute phase of pediatric illness, special attention should be paid to the intake of salt, water, and protein. For children with hypertension and edema, a low-salt or even salt-free diet is recommended. When urine output increases and edema gradually subsides, a low-salt diet (2–3g/day) can be provided. For children with severe edema and low urine output, water intake should be appropriately restricted. For children with acute nephritis who also have impaired renal function and exhibit azotemia, protein intake should be limited. High-quality protein should be administered in the short term, calculated at 0.5g/kg body weight per day, with sufficient energy provided through carbohydrates and other sources.
