Chronic nephritis initially has no obvious symptoms and is also a relatively hidden disease. It is not until the condition reaches a certain level that friends realize it. And there are many friends who suffer from chronic nephritis in their daily lives. So what exactly causes the occurrence of chronic nephritis? Let's listen to experts' discussion on the causes of chronic nephritis.
There is no definite relationship between chronic nephritis and acute nephritis. According to clinical data, only 15% -20% of patients with chronic nephritis have a clear history of acute nephritis. The onset modes of chronic nephritis can be summarized into the following 5 types:
1： Acute glomerulonephritis begins, is not completely controlled, clinical symptoms and urinary protein persist, persists for more than 1 year, and evolves into chronic nephritis.
2： There is indeed a history of acute nephritis in the past. After several weeks or months of recuperation, clinical symptoms and urinary abnormalities disappear, and renal function is normal. After a considerable interval (up to many years for the elderly), symptoms of nephritis such as proteinuria, edema, or (and) hypertension may suddenly appear due to upper respiratory tract or other infections or excessive fatigue.
3： There is no history of nephritis in the past, but symptoms of nephrotic syndrome such as significant edema and excessive proteinuria may occur due to upper respiratory tract or other infections.
4： There is no history of nephritis in the past, but there is short-term onset of proteinuria, progressive hypertension, and/or renal dysfunction.
5： There has been no history of nephritis in the past, and hematuria and/or proteinuria often occur after infection or fatigue. After short-term rest, they quickly alleviate or disappear. Such repeated attacks without obvious clinical symptoms.
Experts point out that in daily life, we should form good habits and usually strengthen our physical fitness. This is the best way to prevent diseases such as chronic nephritis. At the same time, experts also remind friends that although they feel that their bodies are relatively healthy, they should still go to the hospital for regular examinations. This is also an effective way to detect diseases early.
