Hi
Welcome to HCM.
At that age, skin disease and throat infection can lead to inflammation of the kidneys.
It is wise to be under strict followup with the child specialist/ nephrologist to assess the progress and intervene early if necessary.
Treatment will also depend on the results if the blood and the urine tests.
Wishing her best health---
