Glomeruli nephritis, or simply chronic nephritis, is a kind of allergy
disease due to streptococcal infection, which accompanied with different degrees
of renal function decrease. Glomeruli nephritis will not threaten your life in a
short time, but it will develop into chronic renal failure over time, so once
glomeruli nephritis is diagnosed, treatment should begin immediately.
Glomeruli nephritis mostly caused by the acute nephritis has not treated
thoroughly. Because chronic nephritis is concealed, it can hardly be discovered
by patients until renal inherent cells have been damaged yet. If renal inherent
cells can be repaired in early stage of glomeruli nephritis, the clinical
symptoms will disappear naturally, patients will, of course, longevity and
health.
The lifetime of patients with glomeruli nephritis is determined by two points
, one is treatment, another is diet and nursing.
“Five low one high” is the principle of diet for glomeruli nephritis
patients, which means low salt, low sodium, low potassium, low fat, low high
quality protein, high vitamin. The eating plans are depending on different
symptoms. For example, the patients with symptoms of edema and proteinuria
should limit the intake of protein to 0.6 g per kilogram of body weight and the
intake of salt to less than 5 g per kilogram of body weight.
Glomeruli nephritis patients need to choose a proper treatment as soon as
possible to control the condition. For the moment, lots of hospitals especially
general hospitals almost always favor hormone therapy. However, glomeruli
nephritis is a complicated clinical syndrome, which caused by the damage of
renal inherent cells due to inflammatory reaction. Hormone therapy can only play
the role of diminishing inflammation, restrain the inflammation temporarily to
stop the damage of renal inherent cells, once hormone used up, the symptoms will
return again.
