Mohammad Syahril, a spokesman for the Health Ministry, encouraged parents to monitor their children's frequency and volume of urination to prevent acute renal failure.
The quantity and frequency of urination are indicators of
kidney failure. Normally, 12 times per day, then a little suddenly, then even
less frequently, "Syahril made this observation on Saturday in Jakarta
during an online discussion titled "The Mystery of Acute Kidney
Failure."
According to Syahril, kidney diseases that impair the
kidneys' ability to operate as the body's metabolic hub and to eliminate urine
as a metabolic waste are the first signs of acute renal failure. Acute renal
failure could result from kidney diseases that persisted and caused a decrease
in urine frequency.
That resulted in numerous fatalities. According to the most
recent ministry data, 133 children died from acute renal failure and 69
children underwent dialysis to recover from kidney failure. The large increase
in cases was highly suspected to be caused by children's syrup medications that
included levels of ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol over the threshold.
"Of the 11 instances that we examined, seven cases had
ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol testing results that were positive,
indicating that these substances were certainly harmful to consume. Five
medications with these substances have been approved by the National Agency of
Drug and Food Control (BPOM)," Syahril said.
The Ministry of Health has not been able to determine the
cause of the cases despite the fact that ethylene glycol and diethylene glycol
are responsible for the majority of instances of acute renal failure in
children.
