According to statistics, China has more than 200 million children with kidney
disease. In recent years, the number of children with kidney disease increased,
the number of children suffering from chronic renal failure increased by 13% per
year, of which about 70% is caused by acquired factors. Pediatric experts said
that drug-induced acute and chronic renal failure in children the incidence of
higher than adults, accounting for the first acute renal failure. Parents
"abuse" medication or cause kidney disease rate soared.
Factor: medication is the main reason
What causes children to increase the incidence of kidney disease? Experts
believe that on the one hand because in recent years, parents pay more attention
to the child's health, more children with kidney disease was diagnosed; the
other hand, many parents in the child sick when the child taking a variety of
drugs, or more drugs, some of them Ingredients stacked together too much, it is
possible to damage the child's kidneys. In addition, some tonic and traditional
Chinese medicine abuse, but also easily lead to children's drug-induced kidney
disease.
Experts also said that the current packaging of some drugs on the
instructions, there is no detailed provisions of the dose of children, only
"discretionary use" or "according to the doctor to guide medication" and other
fuzzy tips, or age range is too large (two or three years old children to ten A
few years old can use), these are safe for children to plant a huge hidden
danger.
Weapon: children medication to follow the three principles
Principle 1: Avoid the use of kidney damage drugs
Children with fever and other common diseases and more diseases, can not
medication as much as possible without medication, it is necessary to take
medicine, but also must be used under the guidance of a doctor, try to avoid the
use of nephrotoxic antibiotics, especially suspected kidney dysfunction or
kidney history , Should also choose no obvious toxicity to the kidneys of
drugs.
Some experts cited a number of common drugs that may cause kidney damage,
including penicillins (such as methicillin, ampicillin), cephalosporins (such as
cephalosporin), aminoglycosides (such as neomycin, Methicillin, kanamycin),
sulfonamides, nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-tumor drugs. "Some of
the older antibiotics are not in the big hospitals, but because of the cheap,
many grassroots, township hospitals are still used, these drugs are easy to
cause damage to the kidneys, especially children.
It is also worth mentioning antipyretic analgesics. Acetaminophen is
currently the most widely used antipyretic analgesics, but children under 3
years of age should be used with caution. Many children in clinical use of cold
pass (including diclofenac sodium) after the emergence of hematuria, so these
children should not be used.
Principle two: do not "sick on a hurry to take medicine"
Children are sick, some parents often busy to let the children take medicine,
and sometimes even under the guidance of a variety of drugs mixed with the
doctor to eat.
General common diseases such as common cold, fever, there is a certain law,
the whole course of 5 to 7 days is normal, during which the child may be
repeated fever. Some parents always worry about fever will burn "bad" children,
try every means to burn back, such as children fever does not exceed 38.5 ℃, let
the children eat all kinds of antipyretics, or even ignore the drug description,
let the children eat several times a day Antipyretics.
Experts said that the newborn fever, do not recommend the use of drugs fever,
should be the main physical cooling; 1 to 3 months of the baby, depending on the
condition required by the doctor's advice; 3 months or more infants and young
children, the temperature exceeds 38.5oC Taking antipyretics.
Principle 3: try not to use three or more drugs at the same time
Some experts have encountered a more extreme example, the child a fever, the
parents let him eat antibiotics, phlegm drugs, cough syrup, chlorpheniramine and
other five drugs, the results eat the fifth day, the child appears Hematuria
In this regard, the experts pointed out that the drug is too complex, the
role of each other may be offset, and toxic reactions are added, not only the
effect is not good, there will be adverse reactions. Such as sulfa and vitamin C
in combination, can increase kidney poisoning; penicillin and aspirin used, can
reduce the antibacterial effect of penicillin. As for penicillin,
chloramphenicol, sulfa drugs together, or cephalosporins and gentamicin, the
same risk.
At the same time, medication should avoid the drug dose is too large, the
treatment should be short, try not to use more than three kinds of drugs at the
same time, continuous use of a drug for a few days still no effect, should be
based on medical advice to replace the drug or treatment.
