For kidney disease can cause many inherited diseases that affect the renal parenchyma or renal vessels. These diseases include congenital syndromes such as nephrocalcinosis, Alport syndrome (manifested renal and deafness) renal tuberous sclerosis.
Congenital kidney disease manifested in the child in utero, but they can cause the development of acute and chronic renal failure. Acquired diseases in young children, such as hemolytic disease of the newborn, or sepsis, lead to acute renal failure.
Despite the variety of reasons that lead to the development of renal failure in children under one year, all of these diseases sooner or later leads to severe impairment of renal function. All of these changes require immediate action, which can slow the progress of intoxication.
Common to all young children who develop kidney failure, is that all of these children are very far behind in the development of their healthy peers. Infants with kidney disease worse gaining weight and growing more slowly, they have a very high probability of significant distortions of bones. Often children develop symptoms that are not specific to kidney failure, these children often develop a pronounced decrease in immunity, which provokes the development of pyogenic infections.
The treatment of these complications in patients such a small age is complicated by the fact that many antibiotics for young children up to one year can not be used just because they can have a damaging effect on the kidney tissue.
That is why the task of doctors and parents of patients with renal failure, which was not yet a year, it is timely diagnosis, measures to treatment (if possible), to prevent the development of complications and the treatment of intoxication, which is inevitable, if you do not perform the recommendations.
