Patient's question:
I don't know what's going on recently, I've noticed that my three-year-old son is always lethargic. He wants to take naps everywhere, and his appetite is poor, he's losing weight, and his complexion is yellow. They said it might be nephritis. After hearing this, I felt it was very scary. How can you tell if a child has nephritis?Doctor's answer:
To thoroughly check for the possibility of nephritis, it is advisable to go to the hospital for a detailed examination. You can start by testing renal function and routine urinalysis to see if there are any issues with renal function or urinalysis. If problems are found, further detailed examinations should be conducted based on the specific circumstances. Generally, if there is nephritis, renal function abnormalities will likely reappear. It may also lead to conditions such as hypertension, high or low proteinemia, etc.
