Nephrotic Syndrome is a common disease in children which can affect any age
of them. The typical patients are between the ages of 18 months and 8 years. The
classic triad of proteinuria, hypoproteinemia, and the edema defines this
disease. Other features may also include hypercholesterolemia, hypentension, or
hyponatremia. Once your child is diagnosed with this kidney disorder, do you
know how to take care of him or her? The following are some suggestions for your
reference.
1. Keep the skin clean. Bath the skin once each day and no matter when
necessary. Pay special attention to the neck, under arms, groin and other moist
area of the body.
2. Always protect him or her from being affected by infections, such as
respiratory infection, which may induce the relapse of the disease. Elevated the
head from time to time during the day may help reduce the swelling, or edema of
eye lids.
3. Have a high protein diet. Control the swelling by limit the amount of salt
he eats and drinks. Specific requirement varies from case to case. You can
follow your dietitian's advice or consult our online experts for exact
arrangement of the diet.
4. Weigh your child at least once a month to have a idea of what his normal
weight is. Make careful record.
5. Check his urine for protein at least once a week even when in a long
remission. In this way, you may catch a relapse early before edema occurs.
