Zespół nerczycowy
Charakterystyka, pielęgnacja i opieka

Zespół nerczycowy to poważne zaburzenie czynności nerek, charakteryzujące się masywnym białkomoczem, hipoalbuminemią, hipercholesterolemią oraz obrzękami. W patogenezie kluczowe jest uszkodzenie kłębuszków nerkowych, prowadzące do utraty białek z moczem. Opieka pielęgniarska wymaga kompleksowej oceny stanu pacjenta, w tym monitorowania masy ciała, obwodu brzucha, parametrów życiowych (ciśnienie tętnicze, tętno, częstość oddechów, temperatura), bilansu płynów, obecności białka w moczu oraz stanu odżywienia (podaż białka 1,5-2 g/kg, kalorie, poziom albumin). Istotne jest także monitorowanie powikłań, takich jak zakrzepica, infekcje, niewydolność nerek, wodobrzusze, wysięk opłucnowy oraz niedobory wapnia i witaminy D. Leczenie farmakologiczne obejmuje podawanie kortykosteroidów, diuretyków (np. furosemid), inhibitorów ACE lub ARB, statyn oraz leków przeciwzakrzepowych, z uwzględnieniem monitorowania działań niepożądanych.

Zespół nerczycowy – wprowadzenie

Zespół nerczycowy (ang. Nephrotic syndrome) jest istotnym zaburzeniem czynności nerek, charakteryzującym się zespołem objawów klinicznych, w tym masywnym białkomoczem (proteinurią), niskim poziomem albumin we krwi (hipoalbuminemią), hipercholesterolemią oraz obrzękami w różnych częściach ciała. Jest to stan wynikający z uszkodzenia kłębuszków nerkowych, które w warunkach prawidłowych pełnią funkcję filtracyjną, zapobiegając utracie białek z krwi do moczu.1 Zespół nerczycowy może występować zarówno u dorosłych, jak i u dzieci, przy czym u dzieci najczęściej pojawia się w wieku przedszkolnym (poniżej 6 lat).2 Wymaga długotrwałego leczenia i charakteryzuje się nawrotami.

Opieka pielęgniarska nad pacjentem z zespołem nerczycowym stanowi kluczowy element kompleksowego leczenia, które obejmuje zarówno postępowanie farmakologiczne, jak i modyfikacje dietetyczne, oraz edukację pacjenta i jego rodziny. Ze względu na złożoność zaburzenia i możliwe powikłania, rola pielęgniarki w opiece nad pacjentem z zespołem nerczycowym jest wielowymiarowa i wymaga szczegółowej wiedzy oraz specjalistycznych umiejętności.34

Ocena pielęgniarska pacjenta z zespołem nerczycowym

Interwencje pielęgniarskie w zespole nerczycowym

Zarządzanie płynami i obrzękami

Jedną z głównych interwencji pielęgniarskich u pacjentów z zespołem nerczycowym jest zarządzanie płynami i obrzękami:303132

  • Dokładne monitorowanie i dokumentowanie podaży i wydalania płynów
  • Codzienne ważenie pacjenta o tej samej porze, na tej samej wadze i w tym samym ubraniu
  • Codzienny pomiar obwodu brzucha pacjenta na poziomie pępka
  • Monitorowanie poziomu sodu w surowicy
  • Ścisłe monitorowanie podaży płynów zarówno doustnych, jak i dożylnych
  • Ocena zastoju żylnego, wodobrzusza i obrzęku płuc
  • Podawanie leków moczopędnych, takich jak furosemid (Lasix), zgodnie z zaleceniami, w celu promowania wydalania płynów
  • Zachęcanie do diety z ograniczeniem soli, co pomaga zmniejszyć zatrzymywanie wody przez organizm

Wsparcie żywieniowe

Właściwe odżywianie jest kluczowe w leczeniu zespołu nerczycowego:33343536

  • Zapewnienie atrakcyjnej wizualnie i odżywczej diety
  • Konsultacja z pacjentem i rodziną w celu poznania preferowanych produktów spożywczych
  • Podawanie zbilansowanej diety z odpowiednią ilością białka (1,5-2 g/kg) i kalorii
  • Ograniczenie spożycia tłuszczów do mniej niż 30% całkowitej liczby kalorii i unikanie tłuszczów nasyconych
  • Zachęcanie do przestrzegania diety bez dodatkowej soli, aby zmniejszyć zatrzymywanie płynów
  • Regularne monitorowanie masy ciała i dostosowywanie diety w razie potrzeby
  • Unikanie diety wysokobiałkowej – zbyt duża ilość białka może pogorszyć utratę białka w moczu; indywidualne zapotrzebowanie na białko powinno być podobne do zalecanego dla każdego stadium przewlekłej choroby nerek
  • Monitorowanie całkowitego spożycia sodu – zaleca się nie więcej niż 2300 mg dziennie, aby zapobiec obrzękom i utrzymać zdrowe ciśnienie krwi
  • Zrównoważenie elektrolitów, aby utrzymać poziomy w normalnych granicach
  • Rozważenie „zdrowej diety dla serca” – ograniczenie całkowitego spożycia tłuszczów i unikanie produktów bogatych w tłuszcze nasycone i trans
  • Utrzymanie docelowego poziomu witaminy D – śledzenie poziomu witaminy D u pacjenta z zaburzoną funkcją nerek jest ważne ze względu na wiele ról, jakie odgrywa ta witamina w organizmie

Profilaktyka infekcji

Pacjenci z zespołem nerczycowym są bardziej podatni na infekcje, dlatego istotne są następujące interwencje:373839

  • Ochrona pacjenta przed kontaktem z osobami z infekcją: personelem, rodziną, odwiedzającymi i innymi dziećmi
  • Rygorystyczne mycie rąk i ścisła aseptyka medyczna są niezbędne
  • Obserwacja wczesnych objawów infekcji
  • Stosowanie ścisłej techniki aseptycznej podczas inwazyjnych procedur
  • Monitorowanie parametrów życiowych w celu wykrycia wczesnych objawów infekcji
  • Izolowanie pacjenta, ponieważ jest poddawany terapii immunosupresyjnej
  • Zalecane jest, aby pacjenci z zespołem nerczycowym otrzymali coroczną szczepionkę przeciwko grypie i szczepionkę przeciw pneumokokom
  • Rutynowe szczepienia powinny być opóźnione, dopóki pacjent nie będzie wolny od nawrotów i nie będzie poza immunosupresją przez 3 miesiące

Pielęgnacja skóry

Prawidłowa pielęgnacja skóry jest kluczowa ze względu na obrzęki i ryzyko uszkodzeń:404142

  • Regularna inspekcja wszystkich powierzchni skóry pod kątem uszkodzeń
  • Obracanie i zmiana pozycji pacjenta co 2 godziny
  • Ochrona powierzchni skóry przed uciskiem za pomocą poduszek i wyściółek

  • Pielęgnacja obrzękniętej skóry poprzez pozycjonowanie, pielęgnację skóry, czyszczenie i utrzymywanie skóry w suchości
  • U chłopców z obrzękiem moszny wymagane jest podparcie moszny opaską w kształcie litery T, aby zapobiec tarciu

Podawanie leków

Leki odgrywają kluczową rolę w leczeniu zespołu nerczycowego:434445

  • Podawanie kortykosteroidów (sterydów) – najczęściej stosowane leki u dzieci z pierwotnym zespołem nerczycowym; hamują układ odpornościowy, zmniejszają ilość białka wydalanych do moczu i zmniejszają obrzęki
  • Podawanie inhibitorów konwertazy angiotensyny (ACE) lub blokerów receptora angiotensyny (ARB) – obniżają ciśnienie krwi i pomagają zmniejszyć utratę białka w moczu
  • Podawanie diuretyków (leków moczopędnych) – zmniejszają obrzęki, pomagając nerkom usuwać nadmiar płynów z krwi
  • Podawanie statyn w celu obniżenia cholesterolu
  • Podawanie leków przeciwzakrzepowych w celu leczenia zakrzepów krwi
  • Monitorowanie objawów ubocznych leków, takich jak krwawienie z przewodu pokarmowego, owrzodzenia przewodu pokarmowego, hiperglikemia i zaćma w przypadku stosowania sterydów
  • Należy pamiętać, że pacjenci z nefrozą są oporni na diuretyki, nawet jeśli wskaźnik filtracji kłębuszkowej jest prawidłowy

Promowanie odpoczynku i aktywności

Równowaga między odpoczynkiem a aktywnością jest ważna dla pacjentów z zespołem nerczycowym:4647

  • Łóżkowy odpoczynek jest powszechny w fazie obrzękowej choroby
  • Równoważenie aktywności z okresami odpoczynku
  • Zachęcanie pacjenta do odpoczynku w przypadku zmęczenia
  • Planowanie cichych, odpowiednich do wieku aktywności, które interesują pacjenta
  • Zapewnienie biernej zabawy dla dziecka, na tyle, na ile jest tolerowana
  • Ograniczenie odwiedzających w ostrej fazie choroby
  • Brak ograniczeń aktywności dla pacjentów z zespołem nerczycowym – ciągła aktywność, zamiast odpoczynku w łóżku, zmniejszy ryzyko zakrzepów krwi

Wsparcie emocjonalne i edukacja

Wsparcie emocjonalne i edukacja są kluczowe dla pacjentów i ich rodzin:484950

  • Wyjaśnienie rodzicom choroby i jej leczenia
  • Umożliwienie rodzicom i dziecku wyrażenia swoich uczuć, związanych z nagłym przyrostem masy ciała i zaburzonym obrazem ciała
  • Wyjaśnienie rodzicom programu leczenia, dalszej opieki i ryzyka nawrotu choroby
  • Zachęcanie rodziców do cotygodniowego mierzenia masy ciała dziecka
  • Poinformowanie ich, aby skontaktowali się z lekarzem, jeśli pojawią się jakiekolwiek niezwykłe objawy
  • Wyjaśnienie leków, które mają być kontynuowane w domu
  • Edukacja w zakresie zarządzania dietą i ograniczeniami płynów
  • Rozpoczęcie edukacji dziecka/opiekuna podczas pierwszego przyjęcia, w tym rozpoznawania objawów nawrotu i monitorowania białkomoczu w domu
  • Skierowanie do dietetyka nefrologicznego i pielęgniarki specjalistycznej nefrologicznej w celu skoordynowania edukacji i opracowania indywidualnego planu leczenia nawrotu w domu

Plany leczenia nawrotów i opieka długoterminowa

Zespół nerczycowy często charakteryzuje się nawrotami, dlatego ważne jest przygotowanie pacjentów i ich rodzin do zarządzania tym aspektem choroby:515253

  • Każde dziecko powinno mieć indywidualny Plan Leczenia Nawrotu Zespołu Nerczycowego, który określi schemat dawkowania sterydów i antybiotyków oraz ograniczenia płynów (plus leki na ochronę żołądka, jeśli jest to uzasadnione)
  • Pielęgniarka specjalistyczna nefrologiczna będzie utrzymywać regularny kontakt telefoniczny z rodziną, aby być na bieżąco z postępami dziecka
  • Codzienne badanie moczu dziecka na obecność białka przy pierwszym oddawaniu moczu
  • Jeśli pasek testowy pokazuje 3+ lub więcej białka w moczu przez 3 dni z rzędu, oznacza to, że u dziecka występuje nawrót
  • Dzieci z wrodzonym zespołem nerczycowym będą potrzebować częstych infuzji albuminy, aby pomóc im normalnie rosnąć i rozwijać się, co często wymaga pobytu w szpitalu
  • Dziecko będzie regularnie badane w klinice, gdzie będzie monitorowane ciśnienie krwi, wzrost, masa ciała, funkcjonowanie nerek i zdrowie kości

    Nephrotic syndrome is a chronic disease in children. Eighty percent of nephrotic syndrome cases occur in preschool-aged children (less than 6 years of age). Nephrotic syndrome requires long-term treatment and can be recurrent. The treatment of nephrotic syndrome includes medication and nutritional therapy. Children should maintain a low salt diet with no fish sauce added, and they should increase their protein intake. Furthermore, children should take medications regularly, and they should not reduce or stop taking medication without consulting a doctor. Moreover, infection prevention must be controlled carefully. The most common medical problem is lack of knowledge and self-care practice, both of which cause complications and may lead to relapse of the disease. […] The concept of family participation plays an important role in promoting the health of children with nephrotic syndrome and their families to continuity of care, recurrent prevention, and slow progression of the disease to end-stage renal failure.

    You have probably worked with many patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD), but nephrotic syndrome is not as common. Nephrotic syndrome is another condition of impaired renal function, although it is not recognized as a specific disease state. Understanding the specifics of this syndrome and how it might impact nutritional recommendations is beneficial for the RDN and can improve overall care with these patients. […] The clinical presentation of the nephrotic syndrome may vary slightly from CKD. Symptoms of this disorder are proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, high blood pressure, hyperlipidemia, and fluid retention or edema. A combination of medications and diet can support treatment in these patients. […] Avoid a high protein diet. Too much protein can worsen urinary protein loss. Individual protein needs should be similar to those recommended for each CKD stage. For individuals with early phases of CKD, an average of 0.8 g/kg body weight is recommended.

    Monitor total sodium intake. Limiting total salt intake is also recommended in the patient with nephrotic syndrome. Goals should include no more than 2,300 milligrams per day to prevent edema and to maintain a healthy blood pressure. […] Balance electrolytes to maintain levels within normal limits. Changes with electrolytes such as potassium may occur as part of the nephrotic syndrome. Adjusting dietary intake to help maintain electrolytes within normal range may be needed. […] Consider a “heart healthy” diet. With an increased risk for hyperlipidemia due to the nephrotic syndrome, total dietary fat should be evaluated. Limiting total fat intake and avoiding foods high in saturated fat and trans fat is encouraged. […] Maintain goal vitamin D levels. Tracking vitamin D level in the patient with impaired kidney function is important because of the many roles this vitamin plays in the body. If insufficient, supplementation should be provided with cholecalciferol or ergocalciferol.

    Malnutrition caused by loss of proteins and poor appetite, so the child should take diet containing high protein. For example eggs, milk, pulses, soya bean and groundnuts and restrict the fluids if ordered. […] Proteins may be given 4 to 5 g / kg of body weight according to serum protein levels and tolerance of the patient. […] Adequate calories should be supplied. Feeds may be small frequent. […] Encourage the patient in Fowlers position to decrease pressure against diaphragm, as the patient has respiratory difficulty caused by ascitis.

    Nephrotic syndrome in children is most often treated with medicines. […] Corticosteroids, or steroids, are the medicines most often used to treat children with primary nephrotic syndrome. These medicines suppress the immune system, reduce the amount of protein passed into the urine, and decrease swelling. […] Health care professionals may also prescribe other medicines to help your child manage the symptoms and complications of nephrotic syndrome. Examples include angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACEs) inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) to lower blood pressure and help reduce protein loss, diuretics, or water pills, to reduce swelling by helping the kidneys remove extra fluid from the blood, statins to lower cholesterol, and blood thinners to treat blood clots. […] Children with nephrotic syndrome should get the pneumococcal vaccine and yearly flu shots to prevent viral and bacterial infections.

    Patient education: The nephrotic syndrome (Beyond the Basics) […] This article will review the causes, evaluation, and treatment of nephrotic syndrome. […] The first line of treatment in nephrotic syndrome is to treat the underlying cause, if the cause is found. In addition, almost all patients are given an angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitor or an angiotensin receptor blocker (ARB), which lower blood pressure, prevent worsening of kidney disease, and reduce the amount of protein excreted in the urine. […] In addition to treating the underlying cause of nephrotic syndrome, the signs and symptoms of nephrotic syndrome can sometimes be treated. […] An ACE inhibitor or ARB is often recommended to reduce the loss of protein in the urine (proteinuria). An SGLT2 inhibitor may be added to the ACE inhibitor or ARB to further lower protein in the urine.

    Swelling in the lower legs (edema) and collection of fluid in the abdomen (ascites) can occur in people with nephrotic syndrome. Edema and ascites often improve in people who follow a low-sodium diet and take a „water pill” (diuretic). […] High cholesterol levels are often seen in people with nephrotic syndrome. If nephrotic syndrome persists, treatment is needed to lower blood cholesterol. Most people are initially treated with a cholesterol-lowering medication called a statin. […] If a blood clot forms in a blood vessel, treatment may include a blood thinner, such as warfarin (brand name: Jantoven), for as long as the nephrotic syndrome persists.

[…] Children presenting to hospital with first episode of NS should be either admitted to an inpatient ward for initiation of treatment and stabilisation, or if clinically well can be managed in an outpatient setting. […] Acute presenting complications of nephrotic syndrome (hypovolaemia, infection and thrombosis) should be managed in consultation with the relevant specialty teams. […] Standard treatment regimen at first presentation is an 8 week course of corticosteroids (prednisolone), prophylactic oral antibiotics and vaccination.

    Nephrotic syndrome is a condition that causes the kidneys to leak large amounts of protein into the urine. This can lead to a range of problems, including swelling of body tissues and a greater chance of catching infections. […] The main treatment for nephrotic syndrome is steroids, but additional treatments may also be used if a child develops significant side effects. […] Most children have relapses until their late teens and need to take steroids when these occur. […] Children diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome for the first time are normally prescribed at least a 4-week course of the steroid medicine prednisolone, followed by a smaller dose every other day for 4 more weeks. This stops protein leaking from your child’s kidneys into their urine. […] If your child has been diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome, you’ll need to monitor their condition on a daily basis to check for signs of relapses.

[…] If the dipstick shows 3+ or more of protein in the urine for 3 days in a row, this means your child is having a relapse. […] If your child has congenital nephrotic syndrome, they’ll need frequent albumin infusions to help them grow and develop normally. This often requires a stay in hospital. […] Your child will be regularly reviewed at a clinic, where their blood pressure, growth, weight, kidney function and bone health will be monitored.
