Patient's question:
Doctor, I would like to ask how to treat pediatric lupus nephritis. Is this disease easy to treat? Is it very painful for the child? Are there any better treatment methods? Methods that take effect quickly? The child has been sick for quite a long time, and as parents, we are very anxious. Thank you for your trouble.Doctor's answer:
Hello, early detection of pediatric lupus nephritis requires different treatment methods. In the early stage, the focus is on actively controlling high blood pressure and increasing urine protein based on symptoms to prevent further deterioration of kidney function, which affects the intake of protein and phosphorus from food. A low-protein diet is the foundation, and antiplatelet drugs and statin lipid-lowering drugs are used to prevent the disease from causing increased blood lipid levels. Corticosteroid drugs are also used.
