How many years can you live with glomerulonephritis?

As we all know, kidney disease is extremely harmful to human health. Every year, many patients die from cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases caused by chronic kidney disease. Therefore, many patients with glomerulonephritis are particularly concerned about how long they can live after the disease. In fact, there is no clear answer to the question of how long a person can live with glomerulonephritis. This is because the physical condition of each patient is different.

1. For patients with glomerulonephritis, thoughts determine attitudes, and attitudes determine actions. Communicate more with the patient, adjust his condition, keep his attitude clear and his thoughts healthy. As long as the patient's mood is good, the health of patients with glomerulonephritis will be very clear through the combination of drug treatment and diet therapy. Those with high urine protein and good renal function should supplement with biologically effective animal protein, such as eggs, fish and lean meat. Those with impaired renal function should appropriately limit protein intake and take essential amino acids when necessary. Keep the air in the ward fresh, keep warm, prevent colds and respiratory infections.

2. Strictly follow the doctor's instructions to take antihypertensive drugs, carefully record blood pressure changes, and control blood pressure within a relatively stable range. Patients with glomerulonephritis who have edema, hypertension, hematuria and protein but not severe, and who do not have renal insufficiency, can take care of themselves and even do some light labor, but should be careful to avoid fatigue. Patients with obvious hypertension, edema or short-term renal dysfunction should rest in bed and limit their salt intake to 2-3g/d. Patients with glomerulonephritis must prevent hyperkalemia and hypokalemia and correctly record their intake and output. For patients with obvious edema, after using diuretics, in addition to paying attention to urine volume and the disappearance of edema, they should also pay attention to changes in blood potassium to prevent hyperkalemia or hypokalemia.

3. Users of adrenal cortical hormones should strictly follow the instructions for taking the medicine and must not stop or reduce the dosage on their own to avoid rebound. They should also pay attention to the side effects of hormones, such as excitement, insomnia, hair loss, osteoporosis, etc., and take care to prevent infection.
