Does acute nephritis have oedema symptom?

Hypertension: most patients have transient mild hypertension, often associated with sodium retention. After * diuretic blood pressure can gradually return to normal. A few patients may have severe hypertension, even hypertensive encephalopathy.

Renal dysfunction: early onset of the disease can be attributed to decreased glomerular filtration rate and * sodium retention, and a few patients even have oliguria (<400ml/d). Renal function can be temporarily damaged, showing mild azotemia. After more than 1-2 weeks, the urine volume increased gradually, and the renal function gradually returned to normal several days after diuresis. Only a few patients can show acute renal failure, which needs to be differentiated from acute progressive nephritis.

Congestive heart failure * often occurs in acute phase. Severe retention of water and sodium and hypertension are important inducements, which need urgent treatment.

matters needing attention

Diet care: sodium salt, should eat less to reduce edema and heart burden. Protein intake should be limited in patients with azotemia. Patients in acute stage should rest in bed absolutely, which can increase renal blood flow and urine volume. After 4-6 weeks of bed rest, patients with obvious symptoms can take appropriate activities after the edema is eliminated.
