Chapter 12 - Urinary System Diseases
1. Anatomical and physiological characteristics of the urinary system in children
anatomical features
kidney
The younger the child, the heavier the kidneys.
The position is lower, reaching above the skeletal height when >2 years old.
ureter
The ureter is long and curved, and is easily compressed and twisted, causing obstruction. - Urinary retention may easily lead to infection.
bladder
The position of the infant's bladder is higher than that of older children. When the urine is full, it can be easily touched when pushed into the abdominal cavity.
urethra
Baby girls have a short urethra (1cm), and the external opening is exposed close to the anus, making them susceptible to infection.
Although the urethra of baby boys is longer, phimosis and foreskin are common, and they are also prone to infection.
Physiological characteristics
Glomerular filtration rate
●The glomerular filtration rate of newborns is low at birth, only 1/4 of that of adults, between 3 and 6 months of age It is 1/2 of an adult, 3/4 of an adult at 6 to 12 months, and reaches adult levels at 2 years of age. ●Serum creatinine (Cr): Different ages have different normal reference values.
tubular reabsorption
●Newborns have low renal glucose threshold and are prone to glycosuria. ●Insufficient intake may cause hyponatremia; ●Excessive input of sodium ions: can cause sodium and water retention. ● Within 10 days after birth, potassium excretion capacity is limited - avoid potassium ion input
Concentration and dilution functions
●Newborns and infants have poor urine concentration function - they are prone to dehydration when the amount is insufficient ●Although the dilution function is close to that of adults, due to the low GFR, the diuretic rate is slow - edema is easy to occur when the load is large or the infusion is too fast.
Acid-base balance function
●Poor ability to excrete acid and retain alkali - prone to acidosis
endocrine function
slightly
Urine and urine characteristics
1. Urination time and frequency
93% of newborns urinate within 24 hours after birth, and 99% urinate within 48 hours after birth. Babies urinate more often, 15 to 16 times a day is normal. The dosage for preschool and school-age children is similar to that of adults (6 to 7 times a day).
⒉. Urine output and oliguria and anuria standards
3. Properties of urine
(1) Urine color: Under normal circumstances, urine color is light yellow.
The newborn's urine is darker and slightly turbid in the first 2 to 3 days after birth; Because it contains mucus and more urate, the decomposition of urate can cause the diaper to be dyed light red.
Normal infant urine may have salt crystals precipitated after being left in the cold season. Urine becomes cloudy; Urine becomes clear after heating urate or adding acid to phosphate, which can be associated with pyuria or chyle. Urine identification.
(2) Urine pH
Newborn urine is acidic (contains more urate) The urine of infants and young children is close to neutral or slightly acidic.
(3) Urine specific gravity and osmotic pressure
The specific gravity of newborn urine is low (1.006~1.008), and the average osmotic pressure is 240mmol/L.
The specific gravity of children's urine is 1.011~1.025, and the average osmotic pressure is 500~800mmol/L.
(4) Urine routine
Microscopic examination of fresh urine sediment in normal children
●Red blood cells<3/HP
●White blood cells <5/HP
●Cases are absent or occasionally seen.
12h urine Addis count
●Red blood cells <500,000
●White blood cells <1 million
●Casts <5000 are considered normal.
(5) Urinary protein
●Normal children excrete only trace amounts of protein in their urine ●Qualitative test is negative: equivalent to excretion ≤100mg/(m^2·24h).
2. Acute glomerulonephritis
Overview
Abbreviated as acute nephritis, it refers to a group of immunoreactive acute diffuse glomerulitis lesions caused by infection with different pathogens. It mostly occurs in older children over 5 years old, with the highest incidence occurring between 5 and 14 years old. Clinical onset is acute, with a history of prodromal infection, mainly hematuria, accompanied by varying degrees of proteinuria, and may include edema and hypertension.
Pathophysiology
The capillary lumen narrows, Decreased glomerular filtration
water and sodium retention
circulatory congestion
heart failure
hypertension
Hypertensive encephalopathy
nonpitting edema
Cause
The immune response after infection is mostly group A beta-hemolytic streptococcal post-infectious nephritis (APSGN).
clinical manifestations
There is often a history of streptococcal pre-infection in the respiratory tract and skin 1 to 4 weeks before the onset of illness.
tonsillitis
Pyoderma
(1) Typical cases
1. Hematuria
2. Reduced urine output
3. Edema
①The earliest and most common symptoms ②Downside ③Non-dentability
4. High blood pressure
5. Proteinuria - minor
(2) Serious cases
It usually occurs within 1 to 2 weeks after the onset of illness. In addition to the above typical symptoms, one or more of the following symptoms occur:
① Severe circulatory congestion - like heart failure, but not heart failure
Symptoms include worsening oliguria, irritability, rapid breathing, or even difficulty breathing, coughing up powdery and foamy sputum, moist rales in both lungs, increased heart rate, galloping rhythm, hepatomegaly, etc.
② Hypertensive encephalopathy
Symptoms include severe headache, nausea and vomiting, double vision or transient blindness, and in severe cases, convulsions and coma. Blood pressure is often above 150~160/100~110mmHg
③Acute renal insufficiency - azotemia
It manifests as increased oliguria or anuria, edema, azotemia, electrolyte imbalance and metabolic acidosis.
(3) Atypical cases (understanding)
1. Asymptomatic APSGN
——Only microscopic hematuria and decreased blood C3, but no typical manifestations of acute nephritis.
⒉Extrarenal symptomatic acute nephritis
——There is a history of streptococcal pre-infection and typical manifestations (edema, hypertension), while the urine changes are slight or the urine routine is normal.
3. Acute nephritis manifested by nephrotic syndrome
——It starts with acute nephritis, but the edema and massive proteinuria are prominent, and there may be mild hypoalbuminemia. It is easy to be misdiagnosed as nephritic nephrotic syndrome.
Auxiliary inspection
1.Urine test
Increased red blood cells in urine, indicating glomerular hematuria
Urinary protein is mostly large ~ and a variety of casts can be seen.
In the early stage of the disease, white blood cells and epithelial cells may be present, which is not caused by infection.
⒉ Blood test
Mild anemia is common, mostly due to blood dilution.
White blood cells are slightly elevated or normal.
The erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) is often slightly increased.
3. Serum complement measurement (necessary for diagnosing nephritis!)
Serum C3 is significantly reduced early in the course of the disease and returns to normal within 6 to 8 weeks.
Those who do not recover within 8 weeks should consider other glomerular diseases.
4. Antistreptolysin “O” (evidence of strep infection!)
It will increase frequently (it may not increase if it is caused by early use of penicillin or pyoderma)
Return to normal after 3 to 6 months.
5. When combined with acute renal insufficiency, renal function and electrolytes may be abnormal.
Diagnosis and Differential Diagnosis
(1) Diagnosis basis of APSGN
History of previous infection
Generally, there is a history of skin or respiratory streptococcus infection 1 to 4 weeks before the onset of illness;
clinical manifestations
①Acute onset ② Symptoms such as edema, oliguria, hematuria, and hypertension; ③Urine routine showed hematuria with proteinuria, and granular or transparent casts were visible.
laboratory
Decreased blood complement C3, with or without increased ASO
(2) Differential diagnosis
1. Acute glomerulonephritis after infection with other pathogens
⒉Rapidly progressive nephritis
3. Acute urinary tract infection
4.lgA nephropathy
5. Membranoproliferative nephritis
6. Secondary nephritis
7. Acute attack of chronic nephritis
treat
The disease is self-limiting and has no specific treatment.
The main measures are rest, diet and symptomatic treatment.
rest
① In the acute stage, stay in bed for 2 to 3 weeks until the gross hematuria disappears, the edema subsides, and the blood pressure becomes normal. You can get out of bed and do light activities. ② If the erythrocyte sedimentation rate is normal, you can go to school, but strenuous activities should be avoided. ③You can participate in sports activities after the urine Addis count is normal.
diet
1. People with edema and high blood pressure should limit salt and water as early as possible, and gradually transition from low-salt to regular food after the swelling subsides and blood pressure becomes normal.
Prolonged salt deprivation should be avoided
2. When there is obvious ammoniaemia - only when there is obvious azotemia, limit protein intake and give high-quality protein (milk, eggs, lean meat and fresh fish), 0.5g/ (kg·d ) is appropriate.
Anti-infective
Purpose: to remove residual infection foci.
Drugs: Give penicillin for 10 to 14 days; switch to macrolide antibiotics for allergic patients
Symptomatic treatment
diuretic
For those who still have edema after restricting water/salt, use it as appropriate. ①Hydrochlorothiazide: 1~2mg/kg, orally divided into 2~3 times ② Furosemide: 1 to 2 times a day, 1 to 2 mg/kg each time, intravenously
hypotensive
After rest → water/salt restriction → diuresis, those whose blood pressure is still high should be given antihypertensive drugs. ① Commonly used: Nifedipine (Xintongding) taken orally ②Also available: Captopril.
Treatment of Hypertensive Encephalopathy/Severe Circulatory Congestion
step down
Use intravenous infusion of nitroprusside, a strong and rapid antihypertensive drug. ① Closely monitor blood pressure ②Shade light during drug administration
Antispasmodic
Diazepam (valium) intravenous injection
diuretic
/–Frusemide
Mannitol is contraindicated in nephritis - it will increase the burden on the kidneys
dialysis
3. Nephrotic syndrome
Pathophysiology
Increased permeability of the filtration membrane and protein leakage (three high and one low)
massive proteinuria hypoalbuminemia
Mild disease
pitting edema
Hypercholesterolemia
severe
lgG etc. lost
Susceptible to infection
Reduced tissue fluid reflux
hypovolemic shock
Thrombosis (most common in renal veins)
Overview
definition
It is a clinical syndrome in which the permeability of the glomerular basement membrane is increased due to various reasons, resulting in a large amount of plasma protein being lost in the urine.
Clinical features
*massive proteinuria
*Hypoalbuminemia

② Hormone-resistant NS;
③ Hormone-dependent NS;
④Recurrence and frequency of recurrence.
clinical manifestations
Onset
●It mostly occurs in people over 2 years old, with the peak incidence between 3 and 5 years old.
●Boys: Girls are (3~4): 1.
●The onset often occurs insidiously, without obvious triggers; it may also occur or recur after influenza, enteritis, etc.
●Children are generally in good condition at the beginning of the disease. As the disease progresses, they develop paleness, listlessness, loss of appetite, and often abdominal pain, abdominal discomfort, diarrhea, etc.
Edema
The most common and prominent symptoms. It begins with edema on the face and eyelids and gradually spreads to the limbs, with descending and sunken features. Severe cases include ascites, pleural effusion and scrotal effusion.
Dispensable
Simple nephropathy - without hematuria and hypertension.
Nephritis kidney disease - hematuria and varying degrees of hypertension may occur, and the course of the disease is often protracted and repeated.

diagnosis
Diagnostic criteria
1. Should have 4 major characteristics
(1) Massive proteinuria: qualitative ~, lasting for more than 2 weeks; Quantity ≥50mg/(kg·d), 3 times within 2 weeks.
(2) Hypoalbuminemia: plasma albumin <30g/L.
Prerequisites
(3) Hyperlipidemia: total plasma cholesterol >5.7mmol/L.
(4) Edema of varying degrees: mostly depressed, ranging from mild to severe.
2.Clinical classification and diagnosis
complication
1.Infection
Most common complications.
Respiratory tract, skin, and urinary tract infections are common, with the above respiratory tract infections being the most common
2. Electrolyte imbalance and hypovolemic shock
There may be "three lows" - hypokalemia, hyponatremia, and hypocalcemia;
Hyponatremia and hypovolemic shock—mostly caused by blind diuresis.
3. Thrombosis
Renal vein thrombosis is the most common
Typical manifestations include ①Sudden low back pain and percussion pain in the kidney area ②Hematuria, even gross hematuria ③ Oliguria, even renal failure
Venous thrombosis of the femoral vein and other lower extremity veins may also occur
Manifested as asymmetric swelling and mobility impairment of both lower limbs
reason
intravascular water loss
Antithrombin III is lost, while factors IV, V, VII and fibrinogen are increased, leaving the child in a hypercoagulable state
4. Acute renal failure
5. Renal tubular dysfunction
treat
Treatment principles: systematic, standardized, long-term, individualized treatment.
Basic method: Comprehensive treatment based on glucocorticoids.
Treatment content
(1) General treatment
1. Rest
●Severe edema and high blood pressure require bed rest
●Under normal circumstances, carry out normal activities to prevent thrombosis.
⒉Food and drink
●Except for severe edema and high blood pressure, long-term low-salt or no-salt diet is not recommended.
●Protein intake is controlled at 1.5~2g/(kg·d), mainly high-quality protein;
●Pay attention to calcium, vitamin D and trace elements (potassium).
(2) Symptomatic treatment (reduce swelling, prevent infection)
1. Diuretic application (reduce swelling)
●Oral administration for mild cases: hydrochlorothiazide and spironolactone;
●Intravenous use in severe cases: furosemide;
●Or after rapid intravenous infusion of 6% low molecular weight dextran (mannitol can be used for kidney disease), then use furosemide intravenously.
2. Prevent and treat infection
●Strengthen care, improve resistance and avoid overwork.
●Immunomodulator
→Intravenous infusion of gamma globulin, or oral administration of levamisole for 6 months
→Applicable to: patients with hormone resistance and low plasma IgG.
(3) Proteinuria-lowering treatment (hormones, ± immunosuppressants)
drug
Prednisone
Overview
1. Oral prednisone: the treatment of choice for inducing remission of renal disease.
2. Methylprednisolone pulse therapy: suitable for refractory nephropathy that is ineffective and frequently relapses to hormone therapy.
3. Medication principles: sufficient initial dose, long-lasting maintenance, slow dose reduction, and individualization.
(1) Course of treatment
Short course (8 weeks) → easy to relapse (short course therapy is no longer recommended)
Mid-term (6 months) → mostly used for the initial treatment of simple kidney disease
Long-term (≥9 months) → mostly used for the treatment of recurrence
(2) Prednisone phased treatment implementation method
induction remission phase
A sufficient amount of prednisone is 2.0 mg/(kg·d), the maximum dose is 60 mg/d, orally divided into 3 to 4 times. Use sufficient amount until urine protein turns negative, then consolidate for 2 weeks;
Generally, a sufficient amount of prednisone should be administered for no less than 4 weeks and no longer than 8 weeks.
Take it as early in the morning as possible (early morning is the peak of glucocorticoid secretion, simulating biological regular administration), and oral administration in divided doses should not exceed 2 weeks;
Consolidation and maintenance stage
Gradually reduce the dose after urine protein turns negative, usually by 2.5-5mg every 2-4 weeks.
Tail therapy until discontinuation.
(3) Judgment of efficacy
immunosuppressant
●Applicable to: patients with frequent relapses, hormone dependence, hormone resistance and those who cannot tolerate hormones.
●How to use: Often used together with smaller doses of hormones.
●Commonly used drugs include: cyclosporine A (CsA), mycophenolate mofetil (MMF), tacrolimus (FK506), tripterygium glycosides, chlorambucil, and azathioprine wait
(4) Relapse prevention treatment
(5) Preventing the chronic development of renal pathology and treating chronic complications
acute renal failure
