Patient's question:
Recently, my child has been complaining of body pain. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was diagnosed as nephrotic syndrome in children. I would like to know what symptoms are associated with nephrotic syndrome in children?Doctor's answer:
Kidney disease comes in many types, and the symptoms vary among different types. However, all patients with kidney disease will experience a decline in glomerular filtration rate, leading to the accumulation of metabolic products in the body. This results in a syndrome of water, electrolyte, and acid-base imbalance, as well as damage to various organs throughout the body. Accurately, it can manifest as: fatigue, dry mouth and tongue, loss of appetite, increased frequency of urination, urinary urgency, urinary pain, even hematuria and sterile pyuria, accompanied by joint pain and other symptoms.
