summary

My child got nephrotic syndrome some time ago, and now he is being treated in the hospital. Fortunately, his condition is not very serious, so I have popularized a lot of relevant knowledge. Now I will introduce the symptoms of nephrotic syndrome in children.

What are the symptoms of nephrotic syndrome in children

First, hypertension: about 20% - 40% of adult patients with nephrotic syndrome have hypertension. It is usually moderate, usually between 18.7-22.7 / 12.7-14.7 kPa. The first two are the necessary conditions for the diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome, which is one of the symptoms of nephrotic syndrome in children.

Second: hypoalbuminemia: plasma albumin is lower than 30g / L, which is the second characteristic of nephrotic syndrome. It is mainly caused by a large amount of plasma albumin excreted with urine. Blood tests showed that the decrease of plasma albumin reduced the ratio of normal albumin to globulin from 1-1.5 to 0.5, resulting in the inversion of the ratio and the increase of cholesterol.

Third: Hyperlipidemia: plasma cholesterol, triglyceride, low density and very low density lipoprotein can be significantly increased. Edema: the degree of edema in nephrotic syndrome varies, especially in the loose tissue. High edema usually occurs. Proteinuria: the daily urine protein of adults is more than 3.5G, which is the first characteristic of nephrotic syndrome.
