What are the symptoms of glomerulonephritis?

1.Dropsy. decreased glomerular filtration rate, resulting in water and sodium retention; Loss of protein from urine causes a decrease in plasma colloidal osmotic pressure, resulting in water retention; Factors such as increased renin secretion, secondary increased aldosterone secretion, increased tubular sodium, and increased water reabsorption are the causes of renal edema.

In mild cases, there is only weight gain (occult edema), and in severe cases, the whole body may be swollen and even a large amount of fluid in the abdominal (chest) cavity.

2.Proteinuria.

In glomerulonephritis, the permeability of the glomerular capillary wall increases, and plasma albumin is filtered through the basal membrane, resulting in proteinuria, so the most important feature of glomerulonephritis is proteinuria.

3.Cast-type urine.

Casts are formed by the coagulation and precipitation of proteins in the urine, so in glomerulonephritis, there should be casts in the urine. It should be noted that there is only protein in the urine and no casts, which does not reflect glomerular lesions. Conversely, casts without protein alone do not indicate glomerular lesions.

Only when there is both protein and casts in the urine is suggestive of glomerular lesions.

4.Hypertension.

The kidneys regulate water and sodium metabolism, affect the effective circulating blood volume, and at the same time produce renin, which affects the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system and causes hypertension. The incidence of hypertension in chronic glomerulonephritis is 84%, and the incidence of uremia is 84%.

5.Anaemia. Renal anemia is often diluted by water retention; In severe glomerular lesions, anemia occurs due to a decrease in erythropoietin. Anemia is usually normal-form, normal-pigmented anemia.

6.Azotemia and uremia.

It is a manifestation of renal insufficiency in the end-stage of glomerular disease, but it is not present in all patients with glomerulonephritis.

These are the basic symptoms, and it depends on your own situation.

Glomerulonephritis is a frequent and common disease. This disease mostly occurs in winter and spring after upper respiratory tract infection or summer and autumn **purulent infection, and the symptoms of nephritis generally appear after the symptoms of acute **infection are reduced or resolved.

Most acute glomerulonephritis occurs 1-2 weeks after an upper respiratory tract infection, and the symptoms of onset are:

1.The appearance of symptoms such as nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, low-grade fever and headache.

2.Gross hematuria may occur when urine volume decreases, but it does not last long and turns to microscopic hematuria after a few days.

3.The presence of proteinuria.

4.The appearance of puffiness such as puffy eyelids and facial puffiness.

5.Increased blood pressure.

Hello, general nephritis edema, frequent urination, fatigue, waist discomfort, etc.

Oliguria, proteinuria, occult blood in the urine, may be mild edema.

Urinalysis may reveal hematuria, proteinuria, and acute edema.

There are many reasons for nephritis, including the following: 1. Pathogens, common bacteria, viruses, parasites, protozoa, etc., can cause acute infection of the kidney, and inflammation occurs, so that the kidney function declines sharply and manifests as nephritis; 2. Patients take some drugs orally, heavy metals, etc., which will reduce kidney function and cause damage to the kidneys, which is drug-induced damage; 3. Some tumors, common benign and malignant tumors can cause kidney involvement and nephritis; 4. Caused by other diseases, such as allergenic purpura, hepatitis, diabetes, systemic lupus erythematosus, etc.; 5. The patient's own immune dysfunction; 6. Genetic factors.
