Nephritis is a non-suppurative inflammatory lesion of the two kidneys. It is different from the inflammation of other organs. Nephritis is an immune disease, an immune-mediated inflammatory reaction. Different antigens from various microorganisms cause different antibodies to be produced, combine into different immune complexes, deposit in different parts of the kidneys, causing pathological damage, and forming different kidney types.
There are many types of nephritis, including acute (glomerular) nephritis, chronic (glomerular) nephritis, pyelonephritis, asymptomatic nephritis, purpura nephritis (purpuric nephritis), lupus nephritis (lupus nephritis).
The symptoms of nephritis include facial edema, oliguria, anuria, hematuria, hematuria with proteinuria, intermittent hematuria, lower limb edema, hypertension, etc.
No matter what type of nephritis, the treatment principle is to prevent and control complications and promote the natural recovery of the body. The general treatment methods for nephritis can include: edema treatment, bed rest, anti-infection treatment, anticoagulation therapy, traditional Chinese medicine treatment, etc. The key to nephritis treatment is to choose a regular nephrology hospital, and effective treatment can be cured.
Due to the strong concealment of nephritis, the symptoms of nephritis are not obvious and are often ignored by people. Nephritis patients often lose the best treatment opportunity, leading to the gradual progression of kidney fibrosis, and eventually developing into renal failure and uremia. Conventional dialysis or kidney transplantation is used to maintain life. Therefore, pay attention to your body, strengthen exercise, prevent colds, combine work and rest, keep hygiene, and actively prevent nephritis.
