Often appear error in nephritis treatment

Nephritis is a more common form of the disease, the incidence rate of 2.8% to 5%, and there is a growing trend, many of whom are due to the presence of nephritis misunderstanding that would have been a very simple disease complicated by delays in treatment or worse. Misunderstandings often the following situations:

Myth: nephritis is considered incurable chronic disease
In fact, not only can cure nephritis, and most can be cured or controlled.
Good or bad depends largely on the efficacy of treatment is timely, reasonable, more important is the patient's own health measures (such as diet, rest). This misconception arises, first, because the symptoms are very occult nephritis itself, can not easily be detected early, when a large number of kidney tissue damage, loss of function when going for treatment, when compared to late; After Second, some patients after treatment Symptoms grade solution, their feel good that the disease has been cured, ignoring the maintenance phase of treatment. When the doctor when feeling unwell again, the nature of the disease has changed. So every kidney disease patients regardless of how, should be regularly reviewed to prevent any eventuality.

Myth: avoid salt
Folklore nephritis patients to avoid salt hundred days, in fact it is not any scientific reason. As everyone knows salt is an essential element of the body's tissue metabolism, not only would not achieve long-term remission ban salt effect of the disease, but will make a lot of organ dysfunction, is not conducive to recovery. Light so protracted illness, severe life-threatening. Under normal circumstances, the absence of significant edema and hypertension , should be added daily 3 to 5 grams of salt , severe edema or hypertension, may be appropriate to reduce salt intake, 1 to 3 grams per day is appropriate.

Myth: that eating animal kidneys and kidney
In fact, although the high protein content of animal kidneys, but unfit for human consumption, because of cholesterol , purine levels were very high, will increase the burden on the kidneys, causing adverse consequences.

Myth: kidney patients do not want to drink more water, meaning fear of increased kidney burden
In fact on the contrary, the human body every day rely metabolites in urine out of the body. If insufficient urine, it will cause the body's waste accumulation, increased kidney damage.

Myth: misuse of antibiotics

Nephritis patients and the general part of the inflammatory diseases (e.g.,enteritis , pneumonia , cystitis , etc.) equated with antibiotics. In fact, the two are essentially different, nephritis is caused by abnormal immune system. And inflammatory diseases by bacteriological infection. The latter can be treated with antibiotics, but treatment is the elimination of the former major antigenic material, to prevent abnormal immune response, mainly immunosuppressants.It is multi-resistant antibiotics are associated with renal toxicity, if abused, antibiotic resistance will cause kidney damage, increased kidney disease.
