Which is included in the diet of a child with minimal change nephrotic syndrome?

The diet for a child with nephrotic syndrome may include salt (sodium) and fluid restriction. These restrictions in the diet may help to regulate your child's fluid balance. Any food that is liquid at room temperature counts as a fluid.

What type of diet will the nurse encourage for a patient with nephrotic syndrome?

A low-sodium diet is also recommended with nephrotic syndrome. Too much sodium through diet can cause further fluid retention and salt retention, resulting in uncomfortable swelling and hypertension.

Which diagnostic finding is present when a child has nephrotic syndrome?

Nephrotic syndrome can usually be diagnosed after dipping a dipstick into a urine sample. If there are large amounts of protein in a person's urine, there will be a colour change on the stick. A blood test showing a low level of a protein called albumin will confirm the diagnosis.

What are the typical changes in the urine in nephritic syndrome?

Signs and symptoms of nephrotic syndrome include: Severe swelling (edema), particularly around your eyes and in your ankles and feet. Foamy urine, a result of excess protein in your urine. Weight gain due to fluid retention.
