According to the pathological manifestations of the disease, nephritis can be divided into two types: acute nephritis and chronic nephritis. For the treatment of nephritis, comprehensive treatment methods should be adopted and active treatment should be carried out. So, what are the treatment methods for chronic nephritis? What should patients with chronic nephritis pay attention to? The following will provide a detailed introduction:
Currently, some treatment plans commonly used internationally and domestically, combined with my personal clinical experience:
1. There are many treatment methods for chronic nephritis, and corresponding treatment measures should be taken according to different pathological characteristics. For patients with high levels of proteinuria as the main symptom in clinical practice, if the 24-hour proteinuria is greater than 3.5 grams, the pathological type may be IgA nephropathy or focal segmental sclerosis nephropathy. Therefore, we prefer hormone 1+immunosuppressive agents 1+ACEI drugs 1+anticoagulants, combined with traditional Chinese medicine, which can generally achieve good therapeutic effects.
2. Controlling blood pressure is a complex process for patients with main clinical symptoms such as hypertension, hematuria, and proteinuria, which requires close cooperation between the patient and the doctor. Firstly, it is necessary to control blood pressure and choose antihypertensive drugs under the guidance of a doctor. In principle, antihypertensive drugs should be chosen that have both antihypertensive and protective effects on renal function and proteinuria, and have good therapeutic effects on nephritis.
Precautions during the treatment of chronic nephritis:
1. Maintain an optimistic mindset, build confidence, and persist in fighting against diseases. Nephritis has a long course, is difficult to heal, and is prone to recurrence. Doctors and patients need to have confidence and persist in treatment in order to hope for a successful outcome.
2. According to the patient's condition, systematic and comprehensive treatment should be given to the patient. Take medication on time. Do not arbitrarily reduce or stop taking medication, especially for patients taking hormones and antihypertensive drugs. Sudden cessation of medication can have serious consequences and sometimes even endanger life.
3. Pay attention to diet, maintain good dietary habits, and effectively promote the recovery of the condition. In terms of daily diet, the intake of sodium salts should be controlled. If patients with both hypertension and obvious edema have a daily sodium intake of no more than 3g, there is also a need to strictly control the amount of water intake. The calculation formula is: the total intake the day before yesterday=24 hours of urine output 1+500ml, which is your daily water intake.
The above has been introduced in detail, and I believe everyone has a detailed understanding. In daily life, patients with chronic nephritis should choose appropriate treatment measures based on their own condition and receive targeted treatment. Do not blindly treat chronic nephritis. At the same time, maintaining good dietary habits and a reasonable and nutritious diet is also very beneficial for the treatment of chronic nephritis.
