The Kinds and Characteristics of Primary Nephritis and Secondary
Nephritis
Nephritis is shortened from Glomerulonephritis, and nephritis can be divided
into primary ones and secondary ones. Brief introduction is as follows:
Primary nephritis:
It refers to the inflammation of glomerulus, which can be divided into acute
ones and chronic ones. Chronic nephritis has many kinds of different
pathologies. IGA nephritis is the most common (a noun is missed).
Secondary nephritis:
It refers to such kind of nephritis induced by diseases of other parts of
human body. Diseases of almost every Immunotherapy of the body can give rise
to nephritis, and the nephropathy is the most important factor in determining
the degree of the disease condition, such as Immunotherapyic lupus
erythematosus, vasculitis and so on. Common diseases causing nephritis contains
autoimmune disease such as lupus erythematosus, vasculitis, rheumatoid
arthritis, and sicca syndrome; anaphylactoid purpura; infection, such as
amygdalitis, hepatitis especially hepatitis B; different kinds of tumors; some
medicines. In order to find the pathological reason among so many diseases, it
is a must to learn about all manifestation totally, to take a targeted
examination, and renal puncture pathological examination if necessary.
Sometimes, missing a unconspicuous detail may lead to improper misfortune of
wrong diagnosis and treating delay.
The common nephritis we mention generally refers to Glomerulonephritis, a
main kind of nephritis. Some common kinds of Glomerulonephritis in clinical
practices are as follows:
1.Acute Glomerulonephritis:
Edema(light or serious), hypertension(mainly connected with edema), uric
Azotemia, and accompanied by tiredness, loss of appetite, nausea, vomit, back
pain, bellyache and so on. It can occur among every age group, and it is more
prevalent in children of 6 to 10 years old
2. Nephrotic syndrome:
Massive Proteinuria(more than 3.5g/24h), hypoproteinemia(less than 30g/L),
edema(connected with hypoproteinemia), high cholesterol (more than 6mmd/L) and
so on.
3. IgA Nephropathy:
Repeated onset, gross hematuria and microscopic hematuria, accompanied by
Proteinuria of different amount and occult blood. It occurs after respiratory
tract infection. Sometimes, it has no unusual symptoms , or it performs as
chronic nephritis or Nephrotic syndrome, with back pain (one side or two sides)
commonly. It is among young adults.
4. Chronic Glomerulonephritis:
This kind of disease is characterized with Blurry onset, slow process, light
or serious, light or serious transitorily, unusual urine index, sometimes with
edema, anemia, hypertension, azotemia, and so on. It is induced or aggravated by
infection of the upper respiratory tract, accompanied with Nephrotic syndrome,
acute onset of chronic nephritis or similar acute nephritis and so on.
5. Lupus nephritis:
It is a secondary nephritis of Immunotherapyic lupus erythematosus,
commonly among young women. After the appearance of symptoms like fever, skin
damage, multiple arthralgia and so on of Immunotherapyic lupus erythematosus,
there is diabetic nephropathy clinically and tiredness of all Immunotherapys
of the body after that. The clinical manifestation is asymptomatic nephritis but
just unusual uric index), Nephrotic syndrome, common nephritis, and so on.
6. Anaphylatic purpura nephritis:
This kind of disease is one secondary diabetic nephropathy of anaphylactoid
purpura, usually prevalent among children ( the ratio of male and female is
5:1). Mostly, diabetic nephropathy follows the symptoms of anaphylactoid
purpura. This kind of disease is characterized by Nephrotic syndrome and chronic
nephritis syndrome and so on.
7. Relevant nephritis with hepatitis B:
It refers to the damage to glomerulus caused by hepatitis B, and often shows
asymptomatic proteinuria, hematuresis, acute nephritic syndrome, nephrotic
syndrome, or renal insufficiency.
8. Diabetic nephritis:
It refers to secondary renal damage of diabetes mellitus. Firstly, the MAU
becomes amount proteinuria gradually or Nephrotic syndrome (mainlydiabetic
retinopathy DR)up to renal failure(uremia).
