Patient's question:
My friend's nephew's kidney health is currently not good. The child has been frequently using the restroom, and I wonder what might have caused this. I would like to ask, what are the symptoms of poor kidney health in children?Doctor's answer:
Regardless of whether urine output decreases or increases, changes in the first urine volume may indicate kidney disease. Second, the color of the urine changes. If the urine is red or there are more bubbles in the urine, it is necessary to consider the possibility of abnormal heart function. Third, swelling of the eyelids or legs and feet after the infant wakes up is one of the manifestations of kidney damage. Infants are relatively young, and their kidneys have relatively poor concentrating function, and they basically excrete as much water as they take in through urine. Fourth, if your infant has intermittent crying, it is also necessary to consider the possibility of a urinary tract infection.
