Severe Complications of Acute Glomerulonephritis in Children
Acute Glomerulonephritis is very common in children. The conventional treatments only focus on controlling blood pressure, eradicating infection etc. However, as its underlying cause is not eliminated, Acute Glomerulonephritis will cause a series of severe complications in children.
Hear failure
Heart failure is commonly seen in children with Acute Glomerulonephritis. They often present pulmonary congestion, liver enlargement, left heart failure or right heart failure etc. Also the children can be tested out to have noticeable enlargement of heart. These complications are related to the retention of fluid and sodium due to decreasing in glomerular filtration rate and endocrine abnormality. It usually occurs 1~2 weeks after the onset of Acute Glomerulonephritis.
Cerebropathy
The incidence of cerebropathy in children is 5~10%. The children with Acute Glomerulonephritis usually present headache, vomiting, somnolence. In severe case, they may have coma and convulsions. This may be associated with severe high blood pressure, cerebral edema or cerebrovascular spasm.
Acute Renal Failure
During the acute period of Acute Glomerulonephritis, the mesangial cells and endothelial cells have massive proliferation and even cresent formation, which can cause oliguria and even anuria and Acute Renal Failure.
Although most of the children can recover after proper treatment, some children may progress into Chronic Glomerulonephritis and finally End Stage Renal Failure. Therefore, the parents should not delay the effective treatment for their children.

What Are the Symptoms of Children Nephritis in the Early Stage
Children are usually easy to be affected by infection due to their low resistance. When children are infected with pathogenic bacteria, if they are not well treated, the infection may cause Children Nephritis. So it is very important for parents to recognize the early symptoms of Children Nephritis. Once they find out any abnormality with the symptoms, parents should take their children to hospital for timely treatment. Here are the early symptoms of Children Nephritis as follows:
1. Edema: edema of kidney disease is usually in eyelids, faces, which often disappears in afternoon and becomes slight after rest.
2. Too much or too little urine volume: in the normal condition, the 24-hour's urine volume for infant is 400 to 600ml, for preschoolers is 600 to 800ml, for school child is 800-1400ml. Any abnormal urine volume may be a sign of kidney disease.
3. Abnormal results of urine test: children with any abnormality of urine test such as protein in urine, red blood cell, white blood cell, urine glucose, they should be sent to hospital for a further test to find out the reason.
Other symptoms of Children Nephritis: they are usually accompanied with infection, fever. Their temperature can be as much as 40 centigrade. Besides, they may suffer headache. Children with Nephritis can have lumbago with dull pain, a few of them can have cramps directing from ureter to bladder.
Attentions please: children should be well taken cared of and once they are infected they should take positive treatment and prevent from Children Nephritis by paying attention to any abnormal symptoms. Once they are diagnosed with Children Nephritis, they should be well treated timely.

Characteristics of Acute Glomerularnephritis in Children
Acute Nephritis short for Acute Glomerularnephritis is a common disease among children. Knowing the characteristics of Acute Glomerularnephritis is very important to decrease the damage to the patients. Therefore, it is very necessary for the parents to learn more knowledge about Acute Glomerularnephritis in children.
First, Acute Glomerularnephritis often occurs after acute infection.
It usually occurs after acute infection, mainly streptococcal infection. It is mainly characterized with edema, decreased urine output, hematuria, and high blood pressure. In severe cases, the children may have serious circulatory congestion, heart failure, hypertensive encephalopathy, Acute Renal Failure and so on.
Second, winter is the peak season of Acute Glomerularnephritis.
Acute Glomerularnephritis is common among the children aging 5~10, but is rare in the children below 2 years old. Its incidence is higher in the boys with 2:1 in boys and girls. It often occurs in winter. Before the onset of the disease, most of the children have acute upper respiratory tract infection or skin infection. Tonsil inflammation is the most common cause of Acute Glomerularnephritis in children. Usually, it occurs within 3 weeks of the infection. Generally, the prognosis of the disease in children is good. However, in some cases, it can develop into Chronic Nephritis.
Third,health care for the children with Acute Glomerularnephritis.
In the early time of Acute Glomerularnephritis, the children need to stay in bed, which can decrease the pressure to hearts and improve heart function. Once cardiac blood output increases, the renal plasma flow will also increase. It can alleviate retention of water and sodium and other potential complications. Therefore, the parents should know the important of rest for the children. Generally, the children need to stay in bed for two weeks. When edema disappears, the blood pressure recovers normal and gross hematuria disappears, the children can have proper activity.
Fourth,diet for children with Acute Glomerularnephritis
(1)In the acute period, the children will have decreased urine output thus causing edema. Therefore, at that time, the intake of salt should be limited within 1~2 grams per day.
(2) If the children have serious edema, decreased urine output, they should decrease the water intake. The amount of water intake should not exceed 400 ml than the urine output of the previous day.
(3) The children with Acute Glomerularnephritis should limit the protein intake. The metabolic product of protein is mainly excreted out of body by kidneys. In the early stage of Acute Glomerularnephritis, the children’ renal function usually decreases to some extent so the metabolic product of protein can not be excreted out of body normally. Therefore, the children should decrease the protein intake properly.

How to Effectively Prevent from Children Nephritis
Children Nephritis generally refers to Glomerulonephritis, which is a kind of kidney disease with bilateral kidneys diffuse damage without fester. Children among the ages of 6 to 9 are easily to be attacked by Children Nephritis after their being infected upper respiratory tract of bacterium or virus. However, Children Nephritis is not directly caused by renal inflammation but a series of autoimmune response after the body infected by virus or bacterium. In clinic, Children Nephritis mainly represents edema, oligurie, blood urine and Hypertension, the course of which is about 4 to 6 weeks. Besides, summer and autumn are the prevalent seasons of Children Nephritis. Then, how to prevent Children Nephritis?

Besides, children should frequently change clothes and be protected from bites of mosquito or insects and skin inflammation. In addition, children should take urine test one to three times every week in the first three weeks after their recovery from impetigo, which can help to find out whether there is renal damage or not.
Two, children should wear clothes according to whether and protect themselves from Children Nephritis caused by cold. Moreover, they should keep away from those who have symptoms of cold because most streptococcus of pharyngitis is infective.

Can You Live Long With 10% Kidney Function
When only 10% of kidney function is left, they are in the stage of end stage of kidney disease. Many people have been taking on dialysis for some time. However, they have found that the kidney function has no improvement under this treatment. If their kidney function gradually fades, they would face death. Is it possible for them to live long with 10% kidney function?
Improvement of kidney function is essential for them
When people only have 10% kidney function, they are always in the cliff of death. So patients need to improve kidney function greatly in order to keep a long life. Most of them only have dialysis as their only treatment. However, dialysis does nothing to repair kidney tissues but would wilt the kidneys gradually. So people need other therapy to improve kidney tissues.
Immunotherapy is one of the best treatments to satisfy the need of patients. It contains six steps to form a very comprehensive therapy for patients. Among them, immune regulation can solve the problems caused by immunoreaction. Most of kidney function loss is caused by the renal inflammation. It adopts Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy to help dilate the blood vessels, accelerate the microcirculation and resist the inflammation in kidney tissues. Furthermore, it also can regulate the coordination between all the organs and tissues, which can help to form a good immune system to fight against inflammation and save the damaged cells.
What is more, people also would receive immune protection in this therapy. Only repair of damaged cells cannot give a great promotion for kidney function. So they also need Immunotherapy to improve kidney function. We know drugs only recur the sick cells and turn them to normal, but it does nothing to survive the dead ones. Immunotherapy can attract the phagocyte to swallow dead one and produce new tissues to replace them. So in this way people would get a better kidney function and they are hopeful to cast off dialysis and have a normal life span.

Acute glomerulonephritis in children
It is very common in children between 3 and 12 years old. Before this disease, children always have pharyngitis, pustulosis scrumpox impetigo, amygdalitis, scarlatina or other infections. During the infection, a large amount of immune complexes (combination of antigen and antibody) have been produced in the blood. So immune complexes have a high risk to deposit in the kidney tissues and arouse a sudden and serious kidney inflammation. So children’s kidneys have been greatly damaged.
Typical symptoms of acute glomerulonephritis in children

Does Edema Mean the Disease of Nephritis
When body liquid redundantly accumulates in intercellular space of subcutaneous tissue and soft tissues, the clinical condition will display edema which presents obvious hollow when the part with less subcutaneous tissue is pressed.
Edema is a common symptoms of pathological process, the body liquid of which comes from plasma and has almost the same proportion of sodium and water with plasma.
Generally, excessive body liquid's accumulating in coelom is called hydrops such as hydrothorax, Celiac hydrops and hydrocardia, etc. Generally speaking, edema is usually a sign of disease which often can lead to edema. But not all of edema means nephritis and edema is not the specific characteristic of kidney disease, which can be caused by other reasons such as cardiac edema, hepatic edema, nutritional edema, medical edema and idiopathic edema, etc.
Apart from that, for some people they can have edema of part or all over the body with no abnormality found out. This is because that some edema occurs without disease and it is the result of the body's accommodation to its status, internal and external environment, which is clinically called functional edema.
There are some details for different kinds of edema as follows:
One, edema occurs during traveling. Edema occurs during a long trip or long time of walk, which is caused by the increased filtration pressure of acral capillary when the limbs under the knees stand for a long time and the return of blood in vein suffocates as a result of gravity.
Two, edema caused by high temperature. It is more common to woman in clinic. This kind of edema often occurs in summer or hot environment and can repeat for many years, which often appears on hands,feet with slight hollow and accompanys weakness and anorexia. Besides, edema can automatically disappear after summer or when leaving hot environment.
Three, edema caused by insomnia. People who can not fall asleep for a long time in night will have edema on face, eyelids and hands, etc when they get up next morning. But this kind of edema can automatically disappear after movement.
Four, edema when people get up in the morning. When people are asleep, the movement of eyelids will reduce,the blood will flow slowly and the liquid in blood will enter into the loosen tissue of eyelid, which will lead to edema.
Edema can be caused by many factors of physiology or pathology, people should carefully check whether there is some other abnormality nor not and do some tests to find out the real reason.
