What are the symptoms of early kidney disease?

1. Edema

In the early stages of childhood kidney disease, the child's face and eyelids are prone to edema, and the symptoms will be significantly aggravated when the child exercises or is tired. However, once the child gets proper rest, the symptoms will be significantly relieved or disappear. This situation requires parents' attention.

2. Abnormal urination

Generally, the urine volume of sick children will have obvious changes compared with that of normal children in the same period, either increasing or decreasing. Don’t think that only low urine volume is a symptom of kidney disease. In fact, excessive urine volume is also a manifestation of kidney problems.

3. Strange lines appear on the body

Some strange lines will appear on the child's body, such as purple and white lines.

4. Decreased immunity

Symptoms include poor complexion, loss of appetite, dull hair, dry skin, anemia, etc.

5. Eyelid swelling

The main reason for eyelid edema in the early stage of chronic nephritis in children is that the kidney's excretion and regulation function of water is damaged, which causes an increase in water and sodium in the child's body. Excess water accumulates in the loose tissue of the body, and the eyelids are a part with more loose tissue. The characteristic of eyelid swelling is that it is more obvious when you wake up in the morning and decreases after activity.

6. Increased foam in urine

The foam in the urine increases, mainly small foams, which are connected to each other and cannot dissipate for a long time, indicating that the child's urine contains protein and high tension. Of course, this symptom has poor accuracy. If you don't have a certain level of medical knowledge, it will often be ignored by parents or children. The easiest way is to go to the hospital to check urine to rule out the possibility of proteinuria. Because the earliest change in chronic nephritis is urine.
