What's wrong with mild chronic nephritis

The kidney can be said to be one of the most important organs in our human body. In many cases, the kidney cannot have any problems. However, with the rapid development of the economy, people's life pressure is getting greater and greater, and the pace of life is getting faster and faster. As a result, people's bodies are prone to problems. The kidney is a very important organ but it is also an organ that is prone to problems. Diseases such as nephritis can easily occur to people if they are not careful.

The physiological functions of the kidneys are mainly to excrete metabolic products and regulate the balance of water, electrolytes and acid-base, secrete a variety of active substances, maintain the stability of the body's internal environment, and ensure the body's normal physiological functions. Nephritis is a group of kidney diseases that are mediated by the immune system and involve inflammatory mediators (such as complement, cytokines, reactive oxygen species, etc.), which ultimately lead to inflammatory changes in the kidney's intrinsic tissue and cause varying degrees of renal function impairment. It can be caused by a variety of causes. Non-immune, non-inflammatory mechanisms are also involved in the chronic process.

One of the symptoms of chronic nephritis is edema. Edema is a common symptom of chronic kidney disease, but it is not the only symptom. Edema is still common in many patients. The edema is usually located in the eyelids, calves, and ankles. In severe cases, ascites may be seen. There are generally two reasons for edema in chronic nephritis. One is protein loss, and the other is a decrease in glomerular filtration rate, which causes water and sodium to be retained in the tissue spaces and cannot be excreted in time.

The second symptom of chronic nephritis is fatigue. In fact, fatigue is one of the earliest "signals" of edema in chronic kidney disease. However, because fatigue is a common symptom in life and study, no one or we tend to ignore the symptoms of fatigue. It is recommended that if you have occasional edema, frequent fatigue, and a decline in physical fitness in the near future, you should go to the hospital for examination in time.

The third symptom of chronic nephritis is foamy urine. Foamy urine mainly occurs because of protein in the urine, which is related to protein loss. This is because protein in the urine increases the surface expansion of the liquid. Therefore, patients with nephritis and kidney disease will have foamy urine, which is characterized by the foam that lasts for a long time.

The fourth symptom of chronic nephritis is hypertension. Hypertension is one of the common chronic cardiovascular diseases in middle-aged and elderly people. Some young people may have unexplained high blood pressure, and its onset is also related to the kidneys, mainly because of the increase in blood pressure caused by renal parenchymal lesions and renal artery lesions.

Nephritis is not scary. Medicine is so advanced now. As long as we find any problems with our body or kidneys, we should seek medical attention immediately. I believe that we will recover soon after treatment. However, many diseases require us to control ourselves, and it is best to develop good living habits.
