The harmfulness of pyelonephritis

summary

My best friend's face swelled badly when she went to bed in the morning, and her eyes narrowed into a seam. We thought she didn't sleep well. She said that it was definitely not the reason. After checking in the hospital, she was suffering from pyelonephritis. Let's tell you how harmful it is after suffering from pyelonephritis!

The harmfulness of pyelonephritis

Harm one: pyelonephritis is particularly harmful to the patient's body. The clinical manifestation of chronic pyelonephritis is similar to that of acute pyelonephritis, but the systemic manifestation of chronic pyelonephritis is generally mild, even without systemic manifestation. The symptoms of bladder irritation and urine changes are not as typical as those of acute pyelonephritis. When inflammation extensively damages renal parenchyma, hypertension may occur due to renal ischemia, or uremia may develop due to serious damage of renal parenchyma.

Harm two: some patients with chronic pyelonephritis (more common in women), the clinical manifestations are hidden state, only low fever, dizziness, fatigue and other systemic symptoms, and low back pain, urine change is often not significant, urine culture bacteria sometimes need to repeat 2-3 times to obtain positive results, must be actively treated.

Harm 3: inflammation of renal pelvis, calyces and parenchyma directly caused by pathogenic bacteria infection. Pyelonephritis is a common disease of urinary tract infection. Urinary tract infection includes upper urinary tract infection (pyelonephritis) and lower urinary tract infection (urethritis, cystitis), the latter can exist alone, and pyelonephritis is generally accompanied by lower urinary tract infection. Pyelonephritis is better than that of women aged 20-40 (the ratio of male to female is 1:10). Most of the pathogenic bacteria are Gram-negative bacilli, and Escherichia coli is the most common.

matters needing attention

Chronic pyelonephritis is the hidden killer of kidney disease. We understand some hazards of chronic pyelonephritis, and specially emphasize that female patients should pay more attention to the harm caused by the disease. Therefore, patients must go to the professional authority of large hospitals in time for active treatment. During treatment, we should also pay attention to light diet. It's better not to eat spicy food or snacks.
