As parents, the most concerned thing is the children get sick. Nephrotic Syndrome (NS) is a common disease among children. Well, what should we do if children get nephrotic syndrome. Here we will tell some precautions for nephrotic syndrome in children.
In sports
Since children take steroids for a long time, their immunity will decline so children are prone to suffer from respiratory infection. Nephrotic syndrome patients should limit their physical activity and they can do some gentle exercise and avoid strenuous activity. This helps avoid tiredness and aggravation of their disease.
In medicines
In the period of stable medical conditions, children need to continue taking medications. Teachers and doctors should check daily medication compliance. Since children often take diuretic medications, they will have increased urine output. This requires their teachers’ attention. In class or activity, teachers should remind children timely to go to washroom.
In diet
Because a lot of protein will leak from urine, children will be lack of protein in their body. In this condition, they should consume some protein from diet. The diet for sick children should include enough protein such as fish, lean meat, poultry and bean products. Besides, they should also limit their salt intake. Generally salt intake per day should not be over 2 grams.
