Educational plan as a secondary prevention means to give relatives and patient all information about seriousness of renal diseases and urinary tract diseases in children as part of secondary prevention. It is important to explain to parents of sick children to prevent regression of the disease or proceeding into chronic stage. In primary prevention can be recommended to parents the healthy life style of their child, to optimise fluid intake and search for medical help as soon as possible when any health condition changes appear.
