Nephrologist in our hospital categorize glomerulus nephritis into Nephritis. Nephrits belongs to an abnormal allergic disease occurred in bilateral kidneys. According clinical records, nephritis can be divided into acute type and chronic type.
For the acute type, the onset of disease is very acute and the course of disease is rather short. It is prevailing in children with 4-14 years old who mainly gather in kindergarten and primary school. One obvious point is that male patients are more than females. Massive cases show that acute nephritis mainly occurs after streptococcus infection. Most patients with acute nephritis suffered from pharyngitis, tonsillitis and other proceeding infections, but there is no a simultaneous association between infectious extent and disease attack. According to extant data, 40% of patients go to see the doctor due to hematuria; 90% of cases present Edema, for patients whose illness are not severe, eyelid edema emerges when they get up in morning, and general edema appear in those severe patients who even present chest edema, abdominal dropsy, dyspnea and abdominal distension. Parts of patients suffer from elevated blood pressure and headache, and their urine test presents proteins loss nearly.
As to chronic type, this is more prevalent among young adults with 20-40 years old. Chronic nephritis has a long disease course and tends to be progressive-slowly. But the cause of chronic nephritis are still obscure. Pathological agents for most patients are still associated with bacteria, virus, medication or allergic reaction caused by other material accumulated in human body. Clinical symptoms includes proteinuria(Proteinuria and Kidney Disease), hematuria(Hematuria and Kidney Disease), edema, elevated blood pressure and renal function damage. The natural disease course of chronic nephritis varies from different CKD patients. That is, some patiens’ illness condition can develop into end stage only in 2 or 3 years, also quite a number of patients can keep a normal renal function in dozens of years though they are diagnosed as chronic nephritis. Certainly， severe glomerulus nephritis can develop into Uremia. Uremia is large amount of nephrons damaged by various reasons, it can presents renal dysfunction, metabolic waste and toxin retention and internal environment disorder which are life-threatening.
As to glomerulus nephritis, experts in Shijiazhuang Kidney Disease Hospital make an introduction according to our clinical experiences.
