Patient's question:
Early symptoms of nephrotic syndrome in childrenI would like to clarify that my student had kidney problems at a very young age, and I didn't know how to handle it. But I hope my student does not suffer from this disease again. I want to know what are the early symptoms of kidney disease in children?
Doctor's answer:
Nephrotic syndrome, in full, refers to a group of clinical diagnostic symptoms caused by increased permeability of the glomerular basement membrane in the kidneys, leading to a significant loss of plasma protein in the urine. Generally, it has four characteristics: massive proteinuria, hypoproteinemia, hypercholesterolemia, and varying degrees of edema. Simple nephrotic syndrome. It often starts early and is more subtle, often without obvious edema. The most common onset is the eyelids and face, gradually accumulating in the limbs and whole body. Boys often have significant scrotal edema, known as pitting edema. In children who have already started the disease, their general condition is usually good, followed by pallor, fatigue, and anorexia, edema, and severe oliguria.
