What is the severity of nephritis?

Nephritis is a serious kidney disease. Many people may develop renal failure or other serious diseases because their nephritis is not treated in time. Therefore, when kidney problems occur, we need to pay great attention and take treatment seriously. Today, I will analyze for you the severity of nephritis!

Is nephritis serious? After learning about the disease they have, many patients want to know the severity of the disease, in addition to the best treatment method.

There are many types of nephritis, which can currently be divided into primary glomerulonephritis and secondary glomerulonephritis. According to the duration, it is divided into acute nephritis and chronic nephritis, also known as chronic glomerulonephritis. Acute nephritis, chronic nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, IGA nephritis, etc. are all primary nephritis. Purpura nephritis, lupus nephritis, diabetic nephropathy, hypertensive nephropathy, etc. are called secondary nephritis.

Among them, some nephritis is hereditary, and some nephritis, although serious, can be stabilized and will not worsen after treatment. Although some nephritis symptoms are not obvious, they are likely to develop into life-threatening renal insufficiency and uremia over time.

Is nephritis serious? Experts point out that as long as nephritis is discovered and treated early, it will not be very serious. It is important to understand the causes and symptoms of nephritis and to prevent and detect it in time. The main symptoms of acute nephritis are edema, oliguria, hematuria, fatigue, decreased appetite, and may also be accompanied by symptoms such as hypertension. A small number of seriously ill children may also develop acute renal failure, acute heart failure and hypertensive encephalopathy. In addition, if the patient can receive reasonable treatment, he or she will recover within 1-2 months, and a few will recover within 6-12 months without any sequelae.

Among nephritis, is acute nephritis serious? Acute nephritis is the abbreviation of acute glomerulonephritis, which is mainly caused by respiratory tract infection, streptococcal infection, etc. Acute nephritis is a common kidney disease, and the patients are mainly children aged 3-8 years old. Because children have poor immunity, they are easily infected with colds and fevers and develop acute nephritis.

Most patients with acute nephritis can recover after receiving regular treatment. A small number of patients eventually develop chronic nephritis due to untimely treatment or incorrect treatment methods, and lack of proper rest during treatment. Therefore, from the perspective of whether it can be cured, acute nephritis cannot be said to be a very serious disease, but treatment cannot be ignored either. If acute nephritis is not treated in time, it will lead to kidney function decline, weakened excretion function, reduced urine volume, retention of water and salt in the body, and cause edema throughout the body. If the condition worsens further, it may lead to uremia.

In addition, acute nephritis can also lead to some complications, such as severe circulatory congestion, hypertensive encephalopathy and acute renal failure. But with treatment, this risk is greatly reduced.

Therefore, friends suffering from acute nephritis can no longer sit and wait for death. They must seek medical treatment immediately and choose an authoritative kidney hospital. In daily life, we must pay attention to good eating habits and lifestyle to protect our kidneys and our health.
