Can glomerulonephritis be cured? Treatment for nephritis

Glomerulonephritis usually develops slowly, and many people seek treatment only when their condition becomes serious. Chronic glomerulonephritis is particularly common. The most common treatment for chronic glomerulonephritis is to pay attention to rest and take symptomatic medication.

1. Treatment of chronic glomerulonephritis

1. General treatment: Patients with active chronic nephritis or obvious symptoms should rest, avoid colds, dampness, overwork, prevent respiratory and urinary tract infections, and prohibit the use of nephrotoxic drugs. The protein intake should not be too much, and should be controlled at about 1 to 1.2 grams per day. People with edema and high blood pressure should limit water and salt intake, and those with renal insufficiency should adopt a low-protein diet.

2. Symptomatic treatment: including diuresis, detumescence, blood pressure control, anticoagulation therapy, and active treatment of infections, especially latent infections, including asymptomatic bacteriuria.

3. Avoid taking antipyretic and analgesic drugs containing phenacetin and other drugs that may damage kidney function, such as kanamycin, gentamicin, etc.

5. Treatment with traditional Chinese medicine: Chronic nephritis is generally divided into type II, including spleen qi deficiency, liver and kidney yin deficiency, qi and yin deficiency, and spleen and kidney yang deficiency, and can be given corresponding syndrome differentiation and treatment respectively. Regardless of the type of nephritis, it is necessary to add Chinese medicine that promotes blood circulation and removes blood stasis. If necessary, add heat-clearing and detoxifying drugs as appropriate, which is beneficial for the treatment of chronic nephritis.

2. What symptoms should alert you to nephritis in daily life?

1. Acute attacks of acute nephritis and chronic nephritis are often related to pharyngitis, tonsillitis, upper respiratory tract and skin infections. Therefore, urine routine should be checked when suffering from the above infectious diseases.

2. Although nephritis patients lack specific symptoms, they often experience fatigue, weakness, low back pain, edema of the eyelids, face, and ankles, increased foam in the urine, and abnormal urine color in the early stages. Therefore, when these symptoms occur, you should go to the hospital for a urine routine test.

3. Nephrology experts point out that about 1/3 of nephritis patients will experience high blood pressure, which can manifest as headaches, memory loss, poor sleep, etc. Patients who seek medical attention for the above symptoms and are found to have elevated blood pressure should definitely have a urinalysis, especially if they are young.

4. In the early stages, patients with chronic renal failure may only experience increased frequency and volume of urination at night. If a healthy person does not drink a lot of water before going to bed, he should not urinate at night or only urinate once. If he often urinates more than twice at night, he should go to the hospital to check his urine routine and kidney function.

5. Patients with moderate or severe chronic renal insufficiency often have anemia and symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, and pale complexion. Patients with anemia should be aware of chronic renal insufficiency.

6. Patients with early uremia often experience symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, and skin itching. Therefore, patients with these symptoms, especially those with hypertension and anemia, must have their kidney function checked.
