Chronic Nephritis tends to arouse many complications because it always has a
long course and the treatment effect appears slowly. Sufferers with Chronic
Nephritis should have general knowledge on those complications so as to detect
them and treat them timely. Here are some common complications as follows.
♥ Anemia. It is a common complication of Chronic Nephritis. The main causes
are the decrease of red blood cells’ formation and the increasing number of
damaged red blood cells. During the period of Uremia, toxins accumulate in the
body, which obstructs the normal metabolic actions of red blood cells, so these
cells are easily damaged and then hemolysis appears.
♥ Hypertension. During the period of renal insufficiency, there are
cardiovascular complications very often such as Atherosclerosis, Myocardosis and
Pericarditis. They are mainly caused by abnormal metabolism. According to
figures, the morbidity of Hypertension among kidney disease sufferers is as high
as 70%--80%, and almost all those who undergo dialysis have Hypertension.
♥ Infections. Long-term proteinuria may lead to serious protein loss,
malnutrition, and immunity dysfunction, so infections appear in many cases. As
an inducing agent, infections usually cause the acute progression of Chronic
Nephritis or make the disease deteriorate progressively. Although there are
various antibiotics used to treat infections now, they should also be paid much
more attention to.
♥ Electrolyte disturbance. Repeated use of diuretics and improper use of salt
for a long time can cause Hyponatremia; long-term use of adrenocortical hormone
leads to Hypokalemia if potassium cannot be enriched timely.
Although there are many complications of Chronic Nephritis, they are evitable
and preventable if regular and reasonable treatment is applied. Micro-Chinese
Medicine Osmotherapy can treat kidney disease from the root. It can repair
damaged intrinsic cells in kidney and prevent renal fibrosis so as to restore
the filtration function of kidney. Renal function can be improved thereby, and
proteinuria and occult blood can disappear gradually and fundamentally.
