Glomerulonephritis is an inflammation of the glomerular capillaries of the kidneys. This condition occurs all in children.
Probable Cause:
• Streptococcal infection (with an incubation period of 1 to 2 weeks, often resulting in tonsillitis or scarlet fever)
Probable Symptoms
• Decreased urine which contains blood, albumin (a plasma protein) and casts
• Edema
• Hypertension
• Anemia
• Nausea
• Vomiting
Helpful Dietary Management
• Eat low-protein, lowsalt diet during the acute stage when almost all of the symptoms are present.
• Eat high-quality protein. Restrict the amount, though.
• Restrict water intake if edema is present.
• Supply calories in fruit juice and purée form to minimize body tissue breakdown leading to excessive weight loss.
• Give regular diet as soon as edema has subsided, blood pressure has lowered, and urine output has increased.
Note: If nausea and vomiting are present, a sufficient diet is difficult to provide.
