Today, let me learn how to treat retroperitoneal fibrosis with you.
How to treat retroperitoneal fibrosis
Treatment 1: because the initial symptoms of the disease are mild and atypical, patients often have obvious hydronephrosis, or even renal failure. When the possibility of ureteral tumor is low, ureteral stent placement or hydronephrostomy should be performed as soon as possible to relieve obstruction, monitor the balance of water and electrolyte, and assist hemodialysis if necessary. Complete the examination after the renal function gradually recovered.
Treatment 2: corticosteroids have anti-inflammatory and promoting the maturation of fibrous tissue, and have obvious effect on early and middle stage retroperitoneal fibrosis with active inflammation, with an effective rate of 75%, but have little effect on patients with late fibrosis. If the tumor does not shrink or enlarge after 6-8 weeks of treatment, malignant retroperitoneal fibrosis or other diseases may occur.
Treatment 3: retroperitoneal fibrosis may be asymptomatic at the beginning, and then pain may appear, which mostly occurs in the waist or lower back and radiates to the lower abdomen, inguinal area, external genitalia or the anteromedial side of the thigh, compressing the left ureter. Surgical treatment is mainly to relieve the compression symptoms caused by retroperitoneal fibrosis mass, and the most important one is for ureteral compression.
matters needing attention
Retroperitoneal fibrosis is harmful to people, but it can be recovered by treatment. Besides immune factors, some drugs are also pathogenic factors of the disease. Therefore, effective prevention should be carried out in daily life.
