As we know that protein is the basic component for the tissue cells. The lack
of protein will not only affect the growth, physical and intelligence, but also
make the physical condition under the abnormal circumstance, thus leading to the
decreasing of the child's immunity, especially to the infectious disease.
Besides, once the child get infection, it is difficult for them to recover. To
some children with Nephrotic Syndrome, they may have diarrhea and the abdominal
distention. In addition, you may not note that, the cold expression or no smile
face is also the symptom due to the insufficient protein.
I have seen many pictures of the children with Nephrotic Syndrome, I don't
know whether the pictures are taken recently, but you can see their skin are
thin and pale. To the white children, they may have erythema and their hair
become light-color than before. Hypoproteinemia can lead to the stomach and
intestin mucosa edema which will affect the appetite. Hence, it is necessary for
parents to pay attention to the diet of their children with Nephrotic Syndrome.
They should intake the high-quality protein. In order to provide more protein in
blood, the liver will work for the compound of the protein, but it will increase
the pressure of liver. So, if possible, children with Nephrotic Syndrome should
take tests for liver regularly.
Hypoproteinemia is a common symptoms for the children with Nephrotic Syndrome
and it also relate with protein. The first reason for it is that the glomerulus
filtration membranes have been damaged, so the glomerulus can not prevent the
leakage of the protein in blood. It is large amount of protein leak into urine
from blood that the proteinurine occur. So if we want to relieve the two main
problems, we have to repair the damaged glomerulus. After the glomerulus recover
their functions, the symptoms will relieve naturally.
Proteinuria, hypoproteinemia, hypalbuminaemia and serious edema ( swelling)
are the main problem to some children with Nephrotic Syndrome. And as I said
above, the main cause of their symptoms are the damage on kidneys. So, the
urgent thing is to repair her kidneys to make them recover their function.
There are many treatments can help children with Nephrotic Syndrome. The
specific treatment depends on each child's condition. If your child has the
