Treatment methods and precautions for chronic nephritis

Chronic nephritis is a disease with complex causes . When this disease occurs, due to the high incidence of chronic glomerulopathy in the body, it will become the main glomerular disease. However, in most cases, the cause of chronic nephritis in many patients is unknown. It is said that this disease has a clear relationship with streptococcal infection in the body. Let's take a look at the causes of chronic nephritis and the clinical treatments of chronic nephritis.

Edema is also a common symptom of chronic nephritis . During the treatment of chronic nephritis, many patients will experience varying degrees of edema in their bodies. Therefore, the degree of edema in patients may be very mild or very severe. If it is mild, you will find swelling around the eye sockets and face after getting up in the morning, or edema in the ankles of both lower limbs in the afternoon. In severe cases, generalized edema may occur. However, there are a very small number of patients who do not experience edema throughout the entire course of the disease, which is often easily overlooked.

hypertension. Some patients come to the hospital for treatment with symptoms of high blood pressure. After the doctor asks them to test their urine, they find out that the high blood pressure is caused by chronic nephritis. For patients with chronic nephritis, the onset of hypertension is a sooner or later process. The increase in blood pressure may be continuous or intermittent, and is characterized by an increase in diastolic blood pressure (higher than 12.7 kPa). The degree of hypertension also varies greatly from individual to individual, ranging from only 18.7-21.3/12.7-13.3 kPa in mild cases to more than 26.7/14.7 kPa in severe cases.

Abnormal changes in urine. Abnormal urine is almost an inevitable phenomenon in patients with chronic nephritis , including changes in urine volume and abnormalities in microscopic examination. Patients with edema will have decreased urine volume, and the more severe the edema, the more obvious the decrease in urine volume. Most patients without edema have normal urine volume. When the patient's kidneys are severely damaged and the urine concentration-dilution function is impaired, phenomena such as increased nocturnal urine volume and decreased urine specific gravity may occur. When the urine of patients with chronic nephritis is observed under a microscope, it can be found that almost all patients have proteinuria, and the content of urine protein varies, ranging from (±) to (++++). Red blood cells, white blood cells, granular casts, and hyaline casts can be seen in varying degrees in the urine sediment. When an acute attack occurs, there may be obvious hematuria, even visible hematuria. In addition, patients with chronic nephritis may also experience clinical symptoms such as dizziness, insomnia, fatigue, poor appetite, fatigue intolerance, and varying degrees of anemia.

After suffering from a disease like chronic nephritis, if you do not actively seek treatment for the occurrence of chronic nephritis in your body, it will cause great harm to your health. Therefore, in daily life, the treatment method of chronic nephritis is very important, and we must understand this.
