The difference between pyelonephritis and nephropathy

summary

My cousin suffered from pyelonephritis, but she always thought it was a bad relationship with her kidney. In fact, most of the causes of pyelonephritis are caused by urinary tract infection. When my cousin went to the hospital for examination, the doctor told her that if she suffered from pyelonephritis, it does not mean that this is the specific kidney is not good. In real life, there are many people suffering from pyelonephritis, they do not know how to treat, because many patients are worried about their kidneys. Let me analyze the gap between pyelonephritis and nephropathy.

The difference between pyelonephritis and nephropathy

First, the causes, location, symptoms and treatment of the two diseases are different. Nephritis, also known as glomerulonephritis, is an infectious allergic disease, divided into acute nephritis and chronic nephritis, chronic nephritis is more common. Generally speaking, acute glomerulonephritis can develop into chronic glomerulonephritis after more than one year, and chronic glomerulonephritis comes from occult disease. Pyelonephritis and nephropathy have different causes, symptoms and treatment methods, so there is a certain gap between them.

Second: there are many types of nephritis, mainly manifested as hematuria, proteinuria, tubular urine, edema, oliguria, hypertension, anemia, etc. The treatment is more complicated than pyelonephritis, such as anti infection, kidney protection, hormone application, intestinal dialysis, peritoneal or hemodialysis. There are many causes and symptoms of kidney disease. But pyelonephritis is more common, and most of them are caused by urinary tract infection, the treatment method is relatively simple.

Third: pyelonephritis is the inflammation of the renal pelvis, mostly caused by bacterial infection, divided into acute and chronic pyelonephritis, chronic pyelonephritis is an important cause of chronic renal insufficiency. Clinically, the patients have frequent micturition, urgency of micturition, micturition pain, low back pain, fever, etc. the treatment is mainly anti infection. If there are urinary calculi, we should pay attention to the treatment of stone removal. It can also be said that pyelonephritis belongs to one of the inflammation of kidney disease, but the treatment of pyelonephritis is much simpler than kidney disease. Generally speaking, if you want to treat pyelonephritis, you can use drug treatment or click treatment, but if you are sick, you need surgical treatment, because the following is more serious.

matters needing attention

First, the location of the lesion is different. One is the renal pelvis, the other is the glomerulus. In addition, the etiology is different. The former is caused by infection, The latter is an autoimmune disease. If you have pyelonephritis, in your daily life, you must pay attention to eating some light food today. Don't stay up late, and don't be too tired. The same is the way of nursing kidney disease. Whether suffering from pyelonephritis or kidney disease, do not give up, must actively cooperate with the doctor treatment, so as to recover.
