Some friends may ask, what are the symptoms of chronic nephritis? Only by knowing these symptoms can patients and friends receive timely treatment. Below, we will introduce the symptoms of chronic nephritis to you.
Symptoms of chronic nephritis:
1. Hypertension: This is one of the common early symptoms of chronic nephritis. For patients with chronic nephritis, the occurrence of hypertension is a gradual process, and the increase in blood pressure can be persistent or intermittent. Characterized by an increase in diastolic blood pressure. The degree of hypertension also varies greatly among individuals, with mild patients ranging from 18.7-21.3 to 12.7-13.3kPa, while severe patients with nephritis can even exceed 26.7/14.7kPa.
2. Edema: Throughout the entire process of onset, many patients may experience varying degrees of edema. The degree of edema can be mild or severe, with mild patients only noticing facial swelling around the orbit in the morning after waking up, or experiencing edema in the ankles of both lower limbs in the afternoon. Severe patients may experience systemic edema. However, there are also very few patients who do not experience edema throughout the entire course of the disease, and this symptom of chronic nephritis is often overlooked by patients.
3. Urinary abnormal changes: This symptom is almost a necessary symptom for patients with chronic nephritis, including changes in urine volume and abnormal microscopic examination. Patients with edema may experience a decrease in urine output, and the more severe the edema, the more significant the decrease. Patients without edema have normal urine output. When the patient's kidneys are severely damaged, the concentration and dilution function of urine may be impaired, and there may also be phenomena such as increased nocturnal urine volume and decreased urine specific gravity.
The above is the early symptoms of chronic nephritis introduced to you, hoping to be helpful to patients. After discovering symptoms, it is necessary to go to the hospital for examination in a timely manner. If diagnosed, it is necessary to actively participate in treatment, so that there is great hope of cure.
