How is infantile kidney failure treated?
summary
Nowadays, kidney disease has seriously threatened the health of children. A lot of children have kidney failure. Pediatric renal failure is one of the critical diseases of pediatric kidney disease, which is a great threat to children's health. How is infantile kidney failure treated? I'd like to share my views with you.
How is infantile kidney failure treated?
1. Today's medicine has made great progress, especially the application of pediatric anesthesia and minimally invasive technology, which has expanded the scope of surgeons. Hydronephrosis can be treated surgically from the newborn, but because some physiological hydronephrosis may occur, most of the patients are followed up from 10 months to 1 year old, and those who are not improved need to be treated surgically. During the observation period, if the hydronephrosis increased significantly, the operation should be carried out earlier.
2. Parents need to know that, first, pediatric surgery needs general anesthesia. Second, the operation of hydronephrosis in children is a very delicate operation. Third, the common hydronephrosis, such as ureteropelvic junction stenosis (Pujo), often uses dismembered pyeloplasty. The therapeutic effect is good.
3. For the common cases such as Pujo, ureterovesical junction obstruction, the treatment effect is satisfactory, the success rate is high, and the quality of life of the children is normal after recovery. Many parents always ask me a question: is there no hydronephrosis after hydronephrosis surgery. Here I would like to talk about the purpose of the operation, I think is to prevent further damage to the kidney. That is to say, some of the pre-operative kidney damage is already irreversible, and the renal function may be improved after the operation, but there will still be water. As long as it does not continue to aggravate, the operation will be successful. Otherwise, if the child does not have surgery, the kidney damage will continue to increase, and many may have to have nephrectomy in adulthood. So parents need to understand this.
matters needing attention
During the treatment period, both parents and children should maintain their own good mood, maintain nutrition supply, and work and rest normally, so as to help and cooperate with the doctor's treatment. I hope I can help you.
