Kidney disease in children can be caused by several factors. \n\n As a parent, you should be more aware of your child's complaints or physical changes in your child. The reason is that this could be caused by the presence of disease. The earlier you find out, the easier it will be to heal. \n\n \n\n Kidney Disease Types : \n\n Reporting from hellosehat.com, citing the official website of the University of Rochester Medical Center, states that kidney disease is kidney damage that causes dysfunction. This condition can be temporary or even permanent. The most common types of kidney disease are : \n\n 1. Acute Kidney Failure \n\n Acute kidney disease can strike spontaneously or last for a short period of time. Acute kidney disease is also easily returned to normal as usual. However, it should also be watched if it lasts long enough and becomes more serious. \n\n 2. Chronic Kidney Disease \n\n Chronic kidney disease usually progresses slowly over 3 months. Chronic kidney disease has the potential to become permanent kidney failure. So, the symptoms of this disease need to be watched out for. \n\n \n\n Causes of Kidney Disease in Children \n\n Children can develop kidney disease due to several factors. In children aged less than 5 years, it is usually caused by a polycystic kidney disorder and can also occur due to blockage of the urinary tract. \n\n Meanwhile, in children older than 5 years, it is usually caused by kidney absorption problems such as nephrotic syndrome and lupus nephritis due to congenital abnormalities. \n\n According to the Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia, the causes of kidney disease in children are divided into 3 types, namely pre-renal, renal, and post-renal. \n\n Pre-renal causes are caused by problems outside the kidneys, such as dehydration, bleeding, serious injuries, severe infections, and heart abnormalities. \n\n At the renal stage, caused by problems with the kidneys themselves, such as congenital kidney disorders, glomerulonephritis, blood vessel disorders in the kidneys, kidney damage Whereas in the post-renal stage, it is caused by problems in the kidney tract such as congenital kidney disorders and blockages in the bladder tract. \n\n \n\n Symptoms of Kidney Disease in Children \n\n As a parent, you should be more alert if there are symptoms of kidney disease in children, including : \n\n \n Symmetrical swelling (edema) in the left and right legs. \n Hematuria, blood in the urine. \n Leukocyturia is an increase in the number of leukocytes (white blood cells) in the urine. \n Proteinuria is an increase in the excretion of protein in the urine. \n Oliguria, decreased urine production. \n Hypertension. \n Anemia. \n Growth disorders. \n Bone abnormalities. \n It's difficult to breathe. \n Fever repeatedly. \n \n\n If your child shows this condition, it is best to immediately consult a doctor. Especially if the symptoms shown are getting worse over time. \n\n \n\n Prevention of Kidney Disease in Children \n\n Parents play an important role in maintaining the health of their children.

The Indonesian Pediatrician Association (IDAI) urges parents to be aware of the symptoms of mysterious acute kidney disorders that occur in children, especially the presence of specific symptoms in the form of a decrease in the frequency and amount of urine or urine. \n\n IDAI noted that there have been more than 100 children experiencing mysterious acute kidney disorders since January 2022. Check out the review in this health info. Acute kidney failure is a condition of sudden decline in kidney function. The kidneys suddenly stop filtering waste and toxins from the blood. \n\n Symptoms of “Mysterious” Acute Kidney Disorders in Children \n\n Symptoms of mysterious acute kidney disorders in children that have been reported, generally begin with symptoms of infection such as fever, cough, runny nose, diarrhea, and vomiting. After 3-5 days, the frequency and volume of the child's urine will decrease a lot, even to the point of not urinating at all. This condition indicates a worsening of kidney function that must be treated immediately by a doctor. \n\n In addition, parents should be alert if their child has early symptoms, such as: \n\n \n Fever. \n Cough and runny nose. \n Vomiting, diarrhea. \n Decreased appetite. \n Little urine, not even out at all. \n Pain or tenderness in the abdomen. \n Weak and lethargic. \n \n\n Handling “Mysterious” Acute Kidney Disorders in Children \n\n The Ministry of Health of the Republic of Indonesia through the Director General of Health Services has issued a decree on the Management and Clinical Management ofAtypical Progressive Acute Kidney Injuryin Children in Health Care Facilities. \n\n This letter also aims to increase awareness and be used as a reference for health care facilities, related to the medical treatment of the disease in children. \n\n Starting from a clinical diagnosis, which begins with observing the clinical signs and symptoms experienced by the patient. Examples include decreased urine output (oliguria) or no urine output (anuria). In this condition, the child has entered an advanced phase, and must be immediately taken to a health facility such as a hospital. \n\n When a child receives treatment in hospital, the Ministry of Health recommends checking kidney function (blood urea and creatinine levels). If kidney function decreases, further examination will be carried out to confirm the diagnosis and look for abnormalities that cause acute kidney disorders. \n\n If the results of the examination are positive for acute kidney disease, the patient will be treated in an intensive room such as the High Care Unit (HCU) or Pediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) as indicated. \n\n During the treatment process, officers at the health facility will provide medication and continue to monitor the entire condition of the patient; including the amount of urine output, fluid balance in and out of the body, consciousness, respiration, blood pressure, and serial creatinine and other laboratory tests. \n\n Well, in addition, parents also need to be aware of changes in the color of their child's urine (condensed or brown). If there is a change in the frequency and volume of urine, even if the child does not urinate for 6-8 hours (during the day), the child should be immediately taken to the nearest health facility.

For Kids With Kidney Disease, What's causing chronic kidney disease in children?<\/a><\/h3>
When it comes to children's health, many of us, parents, nutritionists, pediatricians, have a predisposition towards obesity and heart-related diseases. Kidney function is also important for maintaining a healthy body and it is important for parents to monitor their children's kidney function. Thus, it is important to raise awareness towards kidney disease that children are prone to suffer from, which can affect millions of people around the world, including young children, who may be at risk for kidney disorders/diseases at an early age. \n\n When parents know that their child are at risk of having kidney disease, they may wonder what they can do to prevent it. However, in most cases, it is not yet known if child will develop kidney disease and usually nothing can be done to stop it. Focusing on what can be done now, such as getting the right treatment, following the doctor's advice, working with the child's health team and learning about the disease, are the best ways to help your child once the diagnosis is made. \n\n The kidneys are made up of millions of tiny filtering units called nephrons and are located just below the ribs on either side of the spine. Kidneys clean the blood, maintain a balance of salt and water, and help to regulate blood pressure and red blood cells. The extra fluid and waste that the kidneys remove from the blood are passed to the bladder and then out of the body as urine. \n\n There are many types of kidney disease that affect children. Some are temporary and treatable. Other forms of kidney disease are long-term and can affect a child's growth, development, and psychosocial/educational achievement. \n\n Various kidney diseases include: \n\n 1. Congenital abnormalities or birth defects, such as having a kidney that is not properly formed, one kidney, a kidney with reduced function, or a kidney that doesn't drain properly into the bladder \n\n 2. Polycystic kidney disease and Alport's syndrome, examples of hereditary kidney disease, which means it runs in the family such as Lupus, vasculitis (inflammation of the blood vessels), uncontrolled hypertension, and diabetes, which are considered as systemic kidney disease \n\n 3. Kidney filtering disorders and nephrotic syndrome, conditions that cause protein to leak into the urine \n\n Acute kidney disease can be caused by: \n\n \n Lack of blood flow to the kidneys for a period of time, such as due to blood loss, surgery, or shock \n Blockage in the urinary tract \n Taking drugs that can cause kidney problems (nephrotoxic drug) \n Any condition that can slow or block oxygen and blood to the kidneys, such as cardiac arrest \n Hemolytic uremic syndrome. It is usually caused by an E.coli infection. Kidney failure develops because of the blockage at tiny structures and blood vessels in the kidneys. \n Glomerulonephritis. This is a type of kidney disease that occurs in the part of the kidney called the glomeruli. Glomeruli become inflamed and impair kidneys function of filtrating. \n \n\n If your child has mild symptoms of kidney disease, consult to your doctor immediately to get relevant advice regarding the possibility of early preventive treatment. \n\n \n<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div>"); $('#div_next_link').html(" <\/span>");
