Germs can leak out here in two ways. First, rising on the urinary tract from infection of the bladder or the urethra for cystitis and urethritis, and secondly, descending from the blood, which is filtered in the kidneys. They are in particular danger, if a child has cavities, runny nose, sinusitis, tonsillitis, bronchitis, or in the child's body have any other chronic infection.
However, acute inflammatory diseases like angina is also often complicated by pyelonephritis. After a day or two after getting into the renal pelvis bacteria form a colony of their own. Keep this in mind!
The current Council. After the flu, colds and other acute inflammatory processes of the child must take the General (clinical) urine analysis to make sure that the kidney's all right!
Even if the student was ill at home on vacation, and doctor parents did not arouse, do not be lazy to go to the clinic for direction in this laboratory study. And properly collect urine.
In no case do not preserve and store analysis with PM - take the first morning portion. During the night the composition of urine can greatly vary. On the air she selecively that gives reason to suspect pyelonephritis even in its absence.
The difficulties of diagnosis
Acute pyelonephritis starts with temperature under forty, strong chills, feelings of weakness, dry mouth, loss of appetite, nausea, and sometimes vomiting, heavy sweating, muscle pain. There may also be pain in the lower back with one hand or with both (depends on both kidneys were affected or only one). This pain is often mistaken for the effects of physical exercise or athletic training.
Often the symptoms of pyelonephritis are also confused with flu symptoms, severe cold, so we treat children home remedies, losing precious time. Meanwhile, when the disease is important as early as possible to start antibiotic therapy. Moreover, this procedure should be done for a long time, sometimes 2-3 weeks to completely expel the germs of the renal pelvis. Otherwise pyelonephritis can turn into a chronic form. That's exactly what happens without proper treatment!
A week after finishing the antibiotics you need to take control urine analysis with culture of its samples. If the bacteria survived, they will begin to multiply in nutrient medium, forming colonies. Then the child will have to retake the course of antibiotics! Such analyses should be done during the year to see if there were any kidney infection.
The current Council
. Note the characteristic signs of pyelonephritis, which does not happen with the flu or colds. This frequent urination accompanied by a burning sensation, constant false desires: I want the toilet is small, and the bladder is almost empty.
Urine may be darker than usual, and smelling of fish. Details talk to your child, and if you find even one of these symptoms, ask your doctor to do a urine test. If it is found bacteria and white blood cells, the diagnosis is not in doubt!
The child should drink more water and green tea, cranberry juice, alkaline mineral water without gas ("Essentuki-4", "Slavyanovskaya", "Smirnovskaya"), extracts of herbs that have diuretic and anti-inflammatory action. Drink plenty of water during the period of the greatest activity of the kidneys (from 9.00 to 17.00) washes pelvis, deleting agents. And on the back you need to tie a woolen scarf or a shawl - heat speeds up the recovery!
Keep in mind: if your doctor has prescribed antibiotics, the child should stay in bed! It is vital inflamed pelvis. Warm, calm and horizontal position of the kidney is better supplied with blood, and hence drugs, easier to filter the blood and produce urine.
Please Chronicles
Pyelonephritis is very insidious. He could for months to undermine the child's body, with little or no impact on health. Parents half of the students suffering from the disease, and the patients themselves children do not even guess about his ill health. And when the diagnosis is made, the process has already gone too far.
Look closer to the condition of their child, especially in the cold season, when the incidence of pyelonephritis increases. The last time the child some not himself - became irritable, avoidant, gloomy?
He tires easily, sitting at home instead of hanging out with friends, no interest in favorite activities, started worse to learn?
It happens when the inflammatory process in the kidneys. Especially if they both suffered from germs and is now difficult to cope with their responsibilities, which leads to intoxication of the body of nitrogenous waste products - chronic intoxication.
Can increase urination, sometimes pulling back pain, but the main symptom is a small temperature (37, 1-37, 3 °C), which is kept constantly. A similar pattern is characteristic of chronic pyelonephritis!
Resolve all doubts urine analysis. It should be returned as soon as possible.
The current Council
. Student diagnosed as having "chronic pyelonephritis", you must be under the constant supervision of a doctor and strictly follow all the recommendations.
Usually from the diet eliminates all that can irritate the renal pelvis: meats, spices, pickles, preserves, ketchup, mustard, garlic, horseradish, mayonnaise, soft drinks. Perhaps the doctor will also recommend to limit the use of salt.
Juices, especially Apple, you need half diluted with water.
