If there is too much protein loss, nephrotic syndrome can also appear. If hematuria and proteinuria persist for a long time, it can also be accompanied by renal dysfunction, Finally, it leads to chronic renal failure. Therefore, a comprehensive understanding of the symptoms of Henoch Schonlein purpura nephritis, early detection and treatment of the disease, to ensure their own quality of life is necessary!

Henoch Schonlein purpura nephritis in children?
Hematuria. The most common clinical manifestation of renal involvement is gross hematuria or microscopic hematuria, which appears continuously or intermittently. Gross hematuria is more common in children than in adults, and aggravates after infection or purpura attack. Most cases are accompanied with varying degrees of proteinuria. Hematuria is mostly caused by nephritis, occasionally due to bleeding on the surface of ureter, bladder or urethral mucosa. Countermeasures: Patients with occult blood in urine should develop the habit of drinking more water, especially in summer, because of the hot weather, the body loses a lot of water. For patients with occult blood in urine, they should avoid some strenuous exercise, combine work with rest, and reasonably control their life. Usually do not eat irritating food that is easy to cause allergies: spicy, aquatic products, garlic, green onion, etc. the addition of blood in urine needs more scientific treatment. The processed Chinese medicine is more suitable for reducing toxicity and increasing efficiency, which has damage to the kidney. Some traditional Chinese medicine fumigation, foot bath, colon perfusion and other traditional Chinese medicine methods can help eliminate hematuria.
proteinuria. Most cases have different degrees of proteinuria. Most of the proteinuria is moderate, and the quantity is less than 2G / D. It is not necessarily proportional to the severity of hematuria. The decrease of serum protein level is more obvious than that of proteinuria. The reason may be that protein can leak out from other parts, such as gastrointestinal tract and subcutaneous tissue, in addition to the leakage through the kidney. Some cases may have a range of proteinuria. Countermeasures: the appearance of urinary protein is divided into physiological and pathological. Physiological proteinuria is common in people after eating a high protein diet, mental excitement, intense exercise lead to excessive urine protein, which belongs to temporary proteinuria. As long as enough rest can help patients increase renal blood flow, it will not take long to return to normal; The pathological urinary protein exceeds the standard. Due to the pathological changes of glomerulus and renal tubules in the kidney of patients with nephropathy, timely treatment and Western medicine can quickly relieve the symptoms. Later, it can be treated with characteristic Chinese medicine.
rash. Rash is a typical symptom of purpura nephritis! Purpura is usually the first manifestation at the onset of the disease. Purpura is different in size, higher than the skin surface, purplish red, and does not fade when pressed. It is more common in the extension of the limbs and buttocks, especially in the lower limbs, ankles, knees and other joints. It appears symmetrically in batches and is easy to recur. Countermeasures: eggs, milk and seafood that are easy to be allergic must be kept away. If the allergen can be found and the cause can be cut off, the rash will naturally improve.
matters needing attention
Generally, the early stage of Henoch Schonlein purpura nephritis is mild, but in the middle and late stage, it turns into renal insufficiency, or even late renal failure and uremia, so Henoch Schonlein purpura nephritis will be life-threatening. Therefore, it is necessary to fully understand the symptoms of Henoch Schonlein purpura nephritis and take preventive measures as soon as possible!
