Chronic nephritis in children cannot be cured completely.
Chronic nephritis is short for chronic glomerulonephritis, which has a long course of disease, progresses slowly, and will have different degrees of renal function decline, and will eventually develop into a disease of chronic renal failure. Clinical manifestations are mainly hematuria, proteinuria, hypertension and edema.
The cause of chronic nephritis is not yet clear, a few are transformed from acute nephritis that is not cured for a long time, and most of the causes are unknown. In terms of mechanism, long-term inflammation will lead to fibrosis of the kidney, so that the normal renal tissue is replaced by scarring, which leads to irreversible damage to kidney function, so chronic nephritis in children can not be completely cured, but can be effectively controlled.
In clinical treatment, the main focus is to delay renal function damage, improve or alleviate clinical symptoms, and delay the appearance of renal failure as much as possible.
Children diagnosed with chronic nephritis should be actively treated, actively control high blood pressure, reduce urinary protein, control the intake of protein and phosphorus in food, etc. Glucocorticosteroids such as methylprednisolone can be given if necessary. Treatment must be carried out under the guidance of specialized doctors.
