One common type of kidney disease is chronic nephritis, which constantly threatens our health problems. However, even so, many people do not know much about chronic nephritis. Today, let me introduce to you the symptoms and manifestations of chronic nephritis.
In the early stage of chronic nephritis, the main reason for eyelid edema is that the kidneys' water excretion and regulatory functions are damaged, resulting in an increase in water and sodium in the child's body. Excessive water accumulates in loose tissue in the body, and the eyelids are the site of more loose tissue. The characteristic of eyelid edema is that it is obvious when you get up in the morning, but it decreases after activity.
Due to the continuous progress of the disease, after entering the middle stage of the disease, the symptoms of patients with chronic nephritis are manifested as anemia, fatigue, dizziness, pale complexion, and other symptoms. At this time, the patient's urine volume will also change. Patients with anemia, excluding hematological diseases, should pay attention to whether there is chronic renal insufficiency.
During the onset of the disease, patients will definitely experience symptoms of urinary abnormalities. Usually, patients' urine volume will undergo significant changes. Generally, in the early stage, patients may only show an increase in the number of urinations and urine volume at night. If a healthy person does not drink a lot of water before going to bed, they should not urinate or only urinate once after sleeping at night. If they often urinate more than twice at night, they should go to the hospital to check their urine routine and renal function.
If a patient cannot consolidate the efficacy and control their condition through nursing measures during treatment, as the condition continues to worsen and patients with chronic nephritis worsen to uremia, the patient may experience symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, and itchy skin. At this time, certain changes in urine volume may also occur. Therefore, patients with these symptoms, especially those with hypertension and anemia, must be checked for renal function.
