Clinical symptoms of nephritis

summary

Nephritis is a disease in which the intrinsic tissue of kidney changes in inflammation, causing varying degrees of renal dysfunction. The clinical symptoms of nephritis include fatigue, waist pain, hematuria, edema, abnormal renal function, and decreased urine volume. In severe cases, congestive heart failure may occur. Different types of nephritis have different clinical symptoms, including acute glomerulonephritis, chronic glomerulonephritis, acute interstitial nephritis, chronic interstitial nephritis, hepatitis B virus associated nephritis, idiopathic acute tubulointerstitial nephritis.

Clinical symptoms of nephritis

Patients with acute glomerulonephritis usually have hematuria, proteinuria, edema and hypertension, which may be accompanied by renal insufficiency caused by Streptococcus infection. Of course, there are also other bacterial, viral and parasitic infections that may cause renal insufficiency. However, the initial symptoms of chronic glomerulonephritis are similar to those of acute glomerulonephritis, and the later stage is different with the changes of the disease.

Acute interstitial nephritis is an acute kidney disease with interstitial inflammatory cell infiltration and tubular degeneration. Its clinical manifestation is acute kidney injury. Chronic interstitial nephritis is characterized by tubular atrophy, interstitial inflammatory cell infiltration and fibrosis, which can lead to tubular dysfunction and chronic renal failure.

The clinical symptoms of hepatitis B virus associated glomerulonephritis are determined by the severity of the disease. Abnormal urine test, proteinuria and hematuria may occur. Idiopathic acute tubulointerstitial nephritis is a reversible non oliguric type of acute kidney injury with unclear causes.
