Children Nephritis can change into Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) with the
influence of some factors, such as the physical conditions of the children, the
kinds of the Nephritis and the treatment being taken.
I. The internal environment of the children.
As we know, the immune Immunotherapy of children is easy to be injured if
they have some diseases. Their physical condition will also be weak after
getting Nephritis, and if they catch some illness during this process, they are
at high risk to get a recurrence of hematuria(Hematuria and Kidney Disease) and proteinuria(Proteinuria and Kidney Disease). Children will get
CKD if this process came over and over.
In addition, some diseases caused by streptococcus including amygdalitis,
pharyngitis and scarlatina are factors which can lead to acute kidney
disease.
II. Different kinds of Nephritis.
▼Acute Glomerular Nephritis often occurs in a very short time with a good
treating effect and is not easy to reoccur.
▼Lingering Glomerulonephritis refers to the process in which the Acute
Glomerular Nephritis will last for six months or more than one year after being
treated. Generally speaking, it will not cause renal insufficiency or high blood
pressure.
▼Chronic Glomerulonephritis can be a consequence of Acute Glomerular
Nephritis, or a complication of a kind of disease in a slow way. This is a main
factor which can develop into CKD and it is difficult to be controlled only by
the western medicine.
▼Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis attacks the children with a sharp
decrease of the renal function. The children may have some severe symptoms of
kidney disease and be a sufferer of renal failure in several weeks or
months.
III. The time of treating is also very important.
▼At the beginning stage of the disease, the immune complex deposit in
different intrinsic cells and cause various inflammatory responses by excreting
inflammatory factors. The intrinsic cells will be damaged during this process
and leads to obstacles of the micro-circulation which is a blasting fuse of
proteinuria and hematuria. A timely treatment at this time can stop the step of
CKD since the disease is only caused by the damage in cells.
▼ If CKD is not controlled well in the first stage, it gets into the second
stage called the forming stage of renal fibrosis. In this stage, a mass of
extracellular matrix (ECM) deposit in the mesangial area, and they can replace
the intrinsic cells of the kidneys little by little, finally causing glomerular
sclerosis and shrink of the renal tubules. It is difficult to control the
disease at this stage, however, if proper treatment can be given, it is possible
to control CKD to keep in a stable condition.
▼Scarring stage is the end stage of Chronic Kidney Disease(CKD) in which the children are in a former
stage of uremia. What they should do is far more less than the former two
stages, at this period, the children should keep a good mood and try to find
some good treating methods, and it is good for them to do more exercises.
Finding CKD in a child is really a miserable thing to the whole family, but
it doesn't mean that we should give up and stop the love of life. Actually there
are a lot of things we can do to help. Do not be frustrated and just cheer up,
have a talk with the consultant and they can tell you what you can do next.
