The Symptoms of Chronic Glomerulonephritis

Referred to as chronic glomerulonephritis chronic nephritis, means proteinuria, hematuria, hypertension, edema of the basic clinical manifestations, onset of different ways, protracted illness, disease slow progress, may have varying degrees of renal dysfunction, with kidney deterioration tendencies and eventually develop chronic renal failure, a group of glomerular disease. Most are converted from chronic nephritis from acute nephritis, a few slow onset patients without a clear history of acute nephritis, a finding that is chronic. Chronic glomerulonephritis diverse clinical symptoms, from asymptomatic to have significant hematuria, proteinuria, edema, hypertension and so on. Because different types of pathology of disease in this group of diseases, the main clinical manifestations can vary. Disease manifestations are diverse.

Such as blood pressure control is not good, and rapid deterioration of renal function and poor prognosis. In addition, some patients due to infection, fatigue was acute, or nephrotoxic drugs after the abrupt deterioration of the condition by removing the incentive for timely and proper treatment the condition can be alleviated to some extent, but may also result into an irreversible chronic renal failure. Most chronic nephritis patients showed chronic progressive renal damage, histological type of renal function is an important determinant of the pace of progress (such as mesangial capillary glomerulonephritis rapid progress, the progress of membranous nephropathy often slow), but also with reasonable treatment-related.


Chronic nephritis can occur at any age, but mainly young adult male common. Most of slow onset, insidious. Diversity of clinical manifestations, proteinuria, hematuria, hypertension, edema its basic clinical manifestations, may have varying degrees of renal dysfunction, the condition light weight, persistent, progressive development of chronic renal failure. Laboratory tests mostly mild urinary abnormalities, urinary protein often in 1 ~ 3g / d, an increase in urinary sediment microscopic red blood cells can be seen casts. Blood pressure may be normal or mildly elevated. Normal or mildly impaired renal function (creatinine clearance rate or mild azotemia), this situation for several years, even decades, progressive deterioration of renal function and the corresponding clinical manifestations (such as anemia occurs, blood pressure increased, etc.), enter uremia.
