How long can one live with hereditary nephritis

Chronic nephritis is not a hereditary disease, but children are more likely to get the disease than other people. It does not mean that they will definitely get the disease. Maintaining a good mood can also reduce the chance of getting the disease. Even if you have a disease like chronic nephritis, it is not scary. The cure rate of this disease is very high, and as long as you follow the doctor's instructions, there will be basically no danger to your life. This article introduces the relevant content of hereditary nephritis. Let’s take a look.

How long can you live with hereditary nephritis?

We believe that chronic nephritis is not hereditary, but there are exceptions. It is divided into primary nephritis, secondary nephritis and hereditary nephritis. The first two will not be directly inherited, but the chance of children getting kidney disease is higher than normal people. True hereditary nephritis is called Alport syndrome, also known as eye-ear-renal syndrome. This is a hereditary nephritis characterized by recurrent hematuria, progressive renal failure, partial ocular changes and sensorineural hearing loss. As the disease progresses, patients may develop proteinuria, nephrotic syndrome and eventually renal failure.

It is based on the above reasons that we say that most chronic nephritis is not hereditary, and is mostly caused by immune system dysfunction, etc. Some nephritis is transformed from acute nephritis that has not been cured for a long time and has lasted for more than one year.

For a disease like this, patients do not need to worry that the disease may affect their life safety. After the disease is diagnosed, they can just take some measures to check it. The disease can eventually be cured or show some improvement.

Patients should pay attention to rest in their lives, improve their own resistance, and not let their condition worsen, otherwise it will be troublesome. After that, further treatment should be carried out to find the cause of the disease and further control it.

The last option is dialysis treatment. This treatment method is quite effective, but it cannot cure all cases of nephritis. If the patient's condition is serious, a kidney transplant may be needed in the end.

Precautions for hereditary nephritis

It is not easy to treat such a disease, but it does not mean that the disease may affect the patient's life, so the patient does not need to worry too much and normal treatment can be used.
