What Should I Do If I Have Chronic Nephritis?

Chronic nephritis refers to acute nephritis that lasts more than 6 months. It is a highly insidious disease. Many patients have renal function damage before clinical symptoms appear. And the symptoms manifest very slowly and are often confused with other diseases. For example, fatigue is mistaken for fatigue, a bad complexion is regarded as anemia, and indigestion caused by end-stage renal failure is misdiagnosed as gastritis.

Because when nephritis occurs, these symptoms generally do not "emerge" at the same time, sometimes they may appear at the same time, but some are obvious and some are not obvious, and the symptoms that are not obvious are easy to be ignored.

How to effectively prevent the progression of chronic kidney disease is particularly critical for people with chronic nephritis.

Actively treat chronic nephritis

There are many controversies in the clinical treatment of nephritis: Chinese medicine says western medicine cannot cure it, and western medicine says Chinese medicine is poisonous; I didn't ask the patient how he was cured. What kind of symptoms did you have then, and what medication did you use? Symptomatic treatment or permanent cure? Or treat both symptoms and root causes?

Traditional Chinese medicine says that "the kidney is the foundation of the innate, and the spleen is the foundation of the acquired." Therefore, if there is a problem with the kidney, it is necessary to strengthen the spleen and nourish the spleen and achieve the purpose of nourishing the innate by treating the acquired foundation. Among the eight methods of Chinese medicine, what is safe is that the "replenishment method" can fight against all kidney diseases in the early stage of uremia! Tonic in Chinese medicine is not to invigorate kidney yang and kidney yin but to invigorate the spleen and invigorate the spleen to achieve the purpose of invigorating the kidney.

Western medicine believes that the liver detoxifies and the kidneys detoxify, so a principle should be followed in clinical medication, and drugs that have any damage to the liver and kidneys should not be used. Only in this way can renal failure not be delayed!

Actively treat kidney disease complications

Patients with kidney disease have spleen deficiency, decreased immunity, and are prone to colds, high blood pressure, edema, and other symptoms. Therefore, antibiotics must be used at a time when upper respiratory tract infections occur. Although antibiotics have certain toxic and side effects, endotoxins and exogenous Toxins are much more damaging to the kidneys than drugs. Many patients often suffer from renal failure due to a cold.

Early diagnosis and timely treatment

Since chronic nephritis often has an insidious onset, some patients have reached uremia when symptoms appear. Early diagnosis, timely treatment, and effective control of proteinuria, hematuria, edema, blood pressure, and blood lipids are the key to preventing chronic glomerulonephritis from developing into uremia. A powerful measure of disease development. At present, in the treatment of chronic nephritis, two aspects should be emphasized:

1. Regular physical examination. Such as checking urine, blood routine, blood sugar, blood pressure, renal function, renal B-ultrasound, etc. Checking urine is the easiest and most reliable way to find chronic glomerulonephritis.

2. Actively treat complications: Bacterial virus infection, high blood pressure, and diabetes can easily cause renal failure, prevent infection, use antibiotics in time when infection occurs, control blood pressure and blood sugar, and prevent renal failure

Pay attention to taboos and eat reasonably

Those without obvious edema and high blood pressure do not need to restrict water and sodium intake. It is very important to increase water appropriately to increase urine output. For patients with mild and moderate azotemia, protein intake should be restricted to prevent blood urea nitrogen from increasing. You can eat a small amount of high-quality protein, such as eggs, lean meat, fish, and milk.

There are many varieties of fruits and vegetables in summer, and the color and fragrance are attractive to appetite, but patients with chronic nephritis should not eat more, so as not to increase the burden on the kidneys. Therefore, patients with kidney disease should mainly eat soft, easy-to-digest, light, and nutritious diets, and eat some lotus root powder, lotus seed porridge, lotus leaf porridge, red bean porridge, etc. appropriately.

In addition, eating an appropriate amount of healthy food is also an effective means to promote balanced nutrition, but don't take healthy food as medicine.

Keep a healthy mind

Maintain a good attitude, and actively adapt to social development and changes, with a bright heart and an open mind.

1. Avoid overwork: high mental stress, overwork, late-night work, high pressure of exams, etc. can all make chronic nephritis worse.

2. Have good living habits and maintain a regular life: You should arrange your daily work and rest system reasonably, take part in more appropriate activities, and strengthen physical exercise, but you should avoid overwork, have reasonable nutrition, enhance your physique and body resistance, and pay attention to your health. Hygiene and environmental sanitation are clean, develop good living hygiene habits, keep a relaxed and happy mood at any time, and strengthen self-care awareness.

3. Understand your personality and behavior patterns, adopt an optimistic attitude towards life, and maintain a comfortable mood.

In short: chronic nephritis is not terrible, we must face it correctly, adjust our mentality, reasonable diet, proper exercise, and examination, and individualized treatment, to delay the progression of chronic nephritis and reduce the occurrence of uremia.
