How does upper respiratory tract infection cause nephritis?

summary

The number of children with kidney disease in China is increasing at the rate of 13.6% every year. We need to seize the time for treatment. What's more sad is that most children have been sick for 2.5 to 3 years when they are diagnosed. How can the upper respiratory tract infection cause nephritis?, Now let's take a concrete look.

How does upper respiratory tract infection cause nephritis?

First: if a child has kidney disease, it must be reflected in the urine, such as oliguria, anuria, and even hematuria. In fact, it is not. The human body has two kidneys. When the function of one kidney is damaged, the other kidney can compensate. Therefore, the symptoms of children's kidney disease, especially in the early stage, are very insidious. Parents should be very careful to catch the clues of the disease.

Second: for example, whether the child has abnormal urination and urine color, whether the eyelids or lower limbs have edema, whether the face is not good, whether there is anemia of unknown reasons, whether it is easier to feel fatigue and fatigue than children of the same age, and whether the child's appetite has obvious loss, etc. Upper respiratory tract infection itself does not lead to nephritis, but the body's response to upper respiratory tract infection leads to nephritis. Of course, not all upper respiratory tract infections can cause nephritis. Generally speaking, if the infection is caused by group A and type B of acute Streptococcus (clinically, scarlet fever or skin damage of children), it may induce nephropathy.

Third: if the child has the above discomfort, especially the family history of kidney disease, it is necessary for parents to take the child to see a doctor. Generally speaking, the doctor will prescribe urine routine, renal function, kidney B ultrasound and other examinations, if there is any abnormality, even need to conduct renal puncture examination.
