Can chronic nephritis be inherited to the next generation?

summary

Chronic glomerulonephritis refers to proteinuria, hematuria, hypertension, edema as the basic clinical manifestations, the onset of different ways, disease delay, slow progression of lesions, can varying degrees of renal dysfunction, and ultimately will develop into a group of glomerulopathy of chronic renal failure. Can chronic nephritis be inherited to the next generation? Next, I'd like to share my views with you.

Can chronic nephritis be inherited to the next generation?

Clinically, only a few chronic nephritis are caused by the development of acute nephritis. Because the etiology of most patients with chronic nephritis is unclear, its pathogenesis is similar to that of acute nephritis, which is an autoimmune reaction process. The mechanism of the chronic process is not clear, which may be related to some immune function defects.

Chronic glomerulonephritis is not hereditary, not an independent disease, but any primary or secondary glomerulonephritis in the progression stage before the end-stage renal failure. At this time, the pathological and clinical manifestations of different types of glomerulonephritis are gradually consistent. Proteinuria, hematuria, edema and hypertension are irreversible. About 60% of all cases of end-stage renal failure are caused by chronic glomerulonephritis.

Chronic nephritis can occur at any age, but mainly in young and middle-aged, male more. The onset of most cases was slow and insidious. Proteinuria, hematuria, hypertension and edema are the basic clinical manifestations. There may be varying degrees of renal dysfunction. The disease is mild, severe and protracted, and gradually develops into chronic renal failure.

matters needing attention

Avoid overwork, mental pressure: overwork, driving all night, examination pressure, etc., can make chronic nephritis worse. We should have good living habits and maintain a regular life. At ordinary times, we should reasonably arrange the work and rest system of life, participate in more appropriate activities and strengthen physical exercise, but we should avoid overwork.
