Causes of chronic glomerulonephritis

summary

That day I accompanied my grandmother at home. When I got up in the morning, my grandmother's face became swollen. I used ice to apply it to her, but the swelling and pain on her face didn't disappear, and her eyes narrowed into a slit. Later, I called and rushed my grandmother to the hospital. It turned out that she was suffering from glomerulonephritis. Tell us what is the cause of glomerulonephritis!

Causes of chronic glomerulonephritis

Reason 1: suffering from glomerulonephritis, often the reason is not clear. The cause of the disease is unknown. Most of the patients had upper respiratory tract infection or other site infection before onset, and a few chronic nephritis may be evolved from nephritis after acute streptococcus infection.

Reason 2: however, most chronic nephritis is not caused by acute nephritis, but by other primary glomerular diseases.

The third reason: because chronic nephritis is not an independent disease, its pathogenesis is different, most of them are immune complex diseases, which can be caused by circulating soluble immune complex deposition in glomerulus, or by antigen and antibody in glomerulus in situ to form immune complex, activate complement and cause tissue damage.

matters needing attention

Chronic nephritis patients also need to control their protein intake. Because protein can be converted into urea nitrogen, it will increase the burden on the kidney. However, controlling protein does not mean not replenishing protein. In terms of dietary choice, lean meat should be the main source of protein, and the amount of protein should be less, so should milk, soybeans and other plant protein.
