Chronic nephritis is a common kidney disease with high incidence rate and great harm. The symptoms of this disease are diverse and complex. The early symptoms are not very obvious and are not easily detected by people, often leading to delays in the optimal time for treatment and bringing certain harm to patients. So, what are the symptoms of early chronic nephritis?
The early symptoms of chronic nephritis are mild, generally including fatigue, fatigue, lower back pain, and poor appetite; Edema may or may not be present, often occurring in the eyelids, face, and lower limbs. It is generally mild to moderate edema, and rarely occurs in cases where chronic nephritis does not cause uremia, such as pleural effusion and ascites.
1. Hematuria
Hematuria is one of the early symptoms of chronic nephritis, which can be divided into macroscopic hematuria and microscopic hematuria. Hematuria with the naked eye is visible to the naked eye, with a urine color resembling meat washing water, cloudy and red in color. Some children may have blood streaks or clots in their urine; Microscopic hematuria can only be observed under a microscope, with more than one red blood cell count per high-power field of view. Hematuria is the most common symptom in most children with chronic nephritis. Of course, there are many reasons for hematuria, and nephritis is just one of them. Therefore, when parents discover unexplained hematuria in children, they should seek medical attention promptly. Perform relevant tests according to the doctor's advice, and if necessary, perform routine urine tests to rule out the possibility of renal hematuria.
2. Increased foam in urine
Patients with chronic nephritis will find that the foam in the urine is gradually increasing, mostly smaller foam, and mutual; Connected together for a long time and unable to disperse, indicating that the child has protein in the urine and high tension. Of course, the accuracy of this symptom is poor. If one does not have a certain level of medical knowledge, it is often overlooked by parents or children. The simplest way is to go to the hospital to check urine to rule out the possibility of proteinuria. Because the earliest changes in chronic nephritis are in urine.
3. Eyelid edema
Eyelid swelling can directly affect the patient's image, which is generally manifested in children. The main reason for eyelid swelling is that the kidneys' water excretion and regulation function are damaged, causing an increase in water and sodium in the child's body. Excessive water accumulates in loose tissue in the body, which is the area with more loose tissue. The characteristic of eyelid edema is obvious when waking up in the morning and decreasing after activity.
What are the symptoms of early chronic nephritis? The above has been introduced in detail, and I believe everyone has gained a better understanding. There are many types of chronic nephritis with complex manifestations. In daily life, we should learn more about the early symptoms of chronic nephritis in order to detect, treat, and achieve the possibility of early cure.
