Spring is the season of recovery for all things, however, the warm and cold weather makes diseases active during this season. The temperature is constantly changing, and the body takes advantage of this to decrease its immune system and weaken its disease resistance, which can easily cause colds. Especially for patients with kidney disease, while enjoying the vibrant spring, they should also try to avoid worsening their condition and seize the best treatment opportunity for kidney disease.
During seasonal changes or abnormal weather, the patient's immune system decreases, causing a cold, inflammation in the body, activation of the immune system, and immune damage, leading to the onset or recurrence of kidney disease. So, for kidney patients, avoiding colds is crucial. Therefore, in the spring, on the one hand, exercise appropriately to enhance resistance, while actively treating kidney disease.
Cold can not only lead to the recurrence of kidney disease, but also cause the onset of acute nephritis in normal individuals. Acute nephritis caused by a cold is not uncommon in clinical practice and mainly occurs in children and adolescents. This is because bacteria or viruses enter the body and stimulate the immune system to form immune complexes, which can reach and deposit in the kidneys with blood circulation, inducing inflammatory reactions and causing nephritis.
Reducing colds is the key to preventing the occurrence of acute nephritis. At present, it is the time of seasonal alternation, and sudden warming and returning to cold are the most likely to cause colds. Not only should we enhance our physical fitness and increase our body's ability to prevent diseases, but we should also pay attention to daily temperature changes and keep warm. If you catch a cold, don't think it's a small matter, procrastinate without seeing a doctor, ignore treatment, but you can't advocate for indiscriminate use of antibiotics on your own. Improper use of antibiotics after catching a cold can also lead to kidney damage.
Expert reminder: Kidney disease is a chronic disease that requires slow treatment. In long-term treatment, patients need to take good care of themselves, especially in the spring when kidney disease is high in incidence and recurrence rate. Special attention should be paid to some susceptible factors to avoid worsening the condition. When kidney disease patients experience various abnormal symptoms, such as hematuria, edema, high blood creatinine, it is best to consult a professional nephrologist to develop a treatment plan.
Secondly, it is best not to stop treatment for elderly kidney disease patients who are still at home in the spring. Even if good therapeutic effects have been achieved, consolidation therapy will take at least one or two years. Difficult to treat kidney disease should take longer. Some kidney disease patients do not have a good understanding of the treatment and prognosis of kidney disease. After a period of treatment, the edema subsides, and there is no urine protein or occult blood left. They believe that the kidney disease has improved and do not take medication to consolidate treatment.
If a cold is not fully treated, it is prone to recurrence, which can worsen kidney disease and ultimately lead to kidney failure. Therefore, for patients with kidney disease, the process of treating the disease is very long and should not be impatient. It is necessary to actively cooperate with doctors for treatment in order to fully recover.
