CLINICAL FUNCTIONAL CHARACTERISTICS OF SICK CHILDREN WITH GLOMERULONEPHRITIS WITH INCREASED THYROID FUNCTION

Abstract

Abstract: To date, there have been few works on a comprehensive study of the functional state of the thyroid gland in glomerulo- and pyelonephritis in children, but there is no consensus on the nature of these relationships (12,13,14). Purpose of the work: to study the clinical and functional characteristics of sick children with glomerulonephritis with increased thyroid function. Material and methods of research: The work is based on clinical observations, examination and treatment of 22 children with glomerulonephritis with hyperfunction of the thyroid gland aged 5 to 17 years, who were hospitalized in the neurological department. Conclusions: characterizing the features of the clinical course of glomerulonephritis in children with increased activity of the thyroid system, one should first of all note the presence of 2 clinical variants of the disease: acute glomerulonephritis with nephritic syndrome, which was characterized by an acute onset with symptoms of general intoxication, early appearance of renal symptoms, and the presence of mixed polymorphic urinary syndrome , pronounced edema, a variety of extrarenal changes.
