Do you have to take long-term medication for cryptoglomerulonephritis?

Occult glomerulonephritis usually does not require long-term medication. Occult glomerulonephritis manifests as renal hematuria or a small amount of urinary protein without edema, hypertension, or decreased renal function. These patients often do not need to take medication, and their renal function can be maintained stable for a long time, usually not progressing to uremia. Although patients with cryptoglomerulonephritis don’t need long-term medication, they need to review the urine routine and renal function regularly, because a small number of cryptoglomerulonephritis is the early manifestation of other serious kidney diseases, if not timely review may make the disease progress gradually, once the patients have self-awareness of the symptoms, they tend to have relatively serious condition, and the treatment is relatively more difficult. Patients with cryptoglomerulonephritis usually need to have a low-salt, low-fat and high-quality protein diet, and try to minimize the application of medications that can damage the kidneys, such as aminoglycoside antibiotics and traditional Chinese medicines containing aristolochic acid. It is recommended that patients with cryptoglomerulonephritis should go to the hospital regularly for review and adjustment of the treatment plan under the doctor’s guidance to avoid delaying the condition.
