Diseases of children (pediatrics)

Chronic pyelonephritis in children

Chronic pyelonephritis is a chronic destructive microbial-inflammatory process in the tubulointerstitial tissue of the kidneys. Chronic pyelonephritis has a recurrent or latent course.

Acute pyelonephritis in children

Pyelonephritis is a nonspecific infectious and inflammatory process that occurs in the bowel-cup system and tubulointerstitial tissue of the kidneys. In the general structure of the pathology of the urinary tract is about 50%.

Fanconi Syndrome

Fanconi syndrome (de-Tony-Debreux-Fanconi disease) is a primary hereditary tubulopathy characterized by a triad of symptoms: glycosuria, generalized hyperaminoaciduria and hyperphosphaturia.

Hereditary tubulopathies

Tubulopathy is a heterogeneous group of diseases combined by the presence of disorders in the tubular epithelium of the nephron functions of one or more enzyme proteins that cease to function as a reabsorption of one or several substances filtered from the blood through the glomeruli into tubules, which determines the development of the disease. There are primary and secondary tubulopathies.

How is acute glomerulonephritis treated in children?

General principles of treatment of acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis include compliance with diet and regimen, etiotropic and pathogenetic therapy depending on the clinical course and complications of the disease.

Acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis in children

Acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis (acute glomerulonephritis, acute nephritis, postinfection glomerulonephritis) is an immunocomplex disease with diffuse kidney damage, mainly of the glomeruli, which occurs 10-14 days after streptococcal infection (angina, impetigo, scarlet fever, pyoderma, etc.) and characterized by nephritic syndrome.

Chronic cystitis in children

In chronic cystitis, the pathological process of prevalence may be of limited and diffuse nature. Affected all layers of the wall of the bladder, lost elasticity, decreases the capacity of the bladder, may be wrinkling of its walls. With the course of chronic cystitis may be mild and recurrent.

How are urinary tract infections treated?

Later, the onset of adequate antimicrobial therapy in children with a urinary tract infection leads to serious consequences: damage to the kidney parenchyma (with possible formation of wrinkles) and sepsis. An analysis of the results of scintigraphy carried out within 120 hours from the start of treatment showed that antimicrobial therapy prescribed for children with fever and suspected urinary tract infection in the first 24 hours of the disease completely eliminates focal defects in the kidney parenchyma.

Infections of the urinary tract in children

Urinary tract infections are a microbial-inflammatory disease of the urinary system without specifying a specific location. The term "infection of the urinary system" is used until the localization of the inflammatory process and the etiology of inflammation are clarified. The term is competent at the first stage of the disease, when there is no data for kidney damage in the examination of the patient, but there are signs of microbial involvement of the urinary tract.

Juvenile Systemic Scleroderma

Juvenile systemic scleroderma is a chronic polysystemic disease from the group of systemic connective tissue diseases that develops before the age of 16 and is characterized by progressive fibrotic sclerotic changes of the skin, musculoskeletal system, internal organs and vasospastic reactions like Reynaud syndrome.
