Can a newborn child get kidney disease too? This is a question that many parents of children with kidney disease wonder about. Yes, newborns can have a variety of urinary tract disorders. There are four main types of urological disorders that are most common in newborn children and in the first year of infancy: The first is congenital urological malformations, which can be brought on at birth. Sometimes urinary system abnormalities can be detected simply by the child’s appearance, such as edema, low urine output, abnormal urine color, etc. The second major type of urological disorder is congenital nephrotic syndrome. This is also caused by congenital genetic abnormalities, which can manifest from birth with edema, abdominal distention, ascites, and foamy urine. The third major category is urinary tract infection, which is also a frequent disease in infants, it is often based on the child’s fever, do not eat milk, anorexia, these systemic non-specific symptoms, so sometimes cause misdiagnosis, which needs to remind parents of the attention, in fact, the diagnosis is not difficult, as long as the hospital to check a urine test can be clear. The fourth major type of disease is congenital renal tubular acidosis, which is also atypical in infancy and can manifest itself as dehydration, anorexia, poor mental appetite, etc. If parents find that their child is unresponsive, anorexic, vomiting, etc., they should promptly bring the child to the hospital. Diagnosis of this type of disease requires fasting venous blood for electrolytes and blood and urine pH to clarify the diagnosis. Because children have poor autonomy and are not able to cooperate with medical treatment, they often fail to respond correctly to their parents when they have symptoms such as low fever, mild urinary frequency, painful urination, or abnormal urine color. Some careless parents are too busy to notice the slightest changes in their children, so sometimes the diagnosis is delayed, and in serious cases, this can eventually lead to the development of uremia, which can seriously affect the child’s future life. Therefore, I would like to remind parents that for the sake of your child’s lifelong well-being, you should take your child to the hospital for a timely checkup when you notice any inconsistencies in behavior and activities. In fact, it is not difficult to diagnose urological diseases, as long as you can pay attention to it and give your child a urine test and kidney ultrasound in time, most children’s urological diseases can be diagnosed in time.
