Chronic nephritis is a relatively responsible type of kidney disease, which can produce many types during the onset process. Regarding several types of chronic nephritis patients, we are not familiar with them in detail. Below, we will provide a detailed introduction, hoping to be helpful to patients.
1、 Latent type
For general chronic nephritis, there may be latency, which is generally difficult to detect. Among them, it is generally manifested as mild swelling, dizziness, low back pain, fatigue, etc. during fatigue, colds, and fever. The laboratory examination may show mild abnormalities in urine routine or changes in renal function. Some can self heal, while others may switch to other types or experience hypertension after many years, causing serious harm to the patient.
2、 Subacute type
For subacute chronic nephritis, it is generally more common in middle-aged people. For patients, there are usually symptoms such as edema, hematuria, and hypertension, which are difficult to alleviate.
3、 Nephrotic type
For this type of chronic nephritis, thickening of the basement membrane is generally recalled as the main symptom, and edema is often the main symptom of this type. When the laboratory test shows a decrease in plasma protein, with the most significant decrease in albumin and r-globulin, α 2 and β Globulin often increases and there is a large amount of proteinuria.
4、 Recurrent seizure type
The characteristic of this type of chronic nephritis is recurrent attacks, but the interval between attacks can be weeks or years. Some patients may gradually worsen due to repeated attacks and eventually develop persistent hypertension or uremia.
5、 Hypertensive type
For this type of chronic nephritis, blood pressure is generally high, ranging from 160 to 180/90 to 110 millimeters of mercury. High blood pressure symptoms such as headache, dizziness, visual impairment, heart enlargement, and heart failure often occur, and some patients eventually die from heart failure or uremia.
The above introduces several types of chronic nephritis. For patients, it is necessary to strengthen their understanding of chronic nephritis, so as to timely understand their condition.
