What causes glomerulonephritis

summary

Recently, my aunt always feels loss of appetite, dizziness and fatigue, and sometimes has some fever. At the beginning, she just thought it was caused by hot weather, but she didn't get better after a few days' rest. After seeing the doctor, she learned that it was caused by chronic glomerulonephritis. Today, let me talk about what causes glomerulonephritis.

What causes glomerulonephritis

Reason 1: first, it is related to the pathological type of nephritis itself, for example, some pathological types are irreversible, such as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. When the condition is unstable, because of pregnancy, long-distance travel, sports also often lead to repeated or aggravated condition. Patients with impaired renal function may also be aggravated by improper diet.

Second, the recurrence of glomerulonephritis is related to the rational use of drugs, especially the rational use of hormones, cytotoxic drugs and antihypertensive drugs. Inpatients are often able to deal with this problem well, but outpatient patients are easy to ignore it. Especially for patients with mild symptoms, patients often do not follow the doctor's advice, increase or decrease drugs by themselves or even stop using drugs.

Reason 3: some blood tumor or colorectal cancer, lung cancer, can cause glomerulonephritis. These tumors may show specific antigens or secrete certain factors, which may cause the body to produce antibodies and form immune complexes to deposit in glomeruli.
