Glomerulonephritis is divided into acute glomerulonephritis and chronic glomerulonephritis. Acute glomerulonephritis can usually be cured within weeks to months, while chronic glomerulonephritis cannot be completely cured. Acute glomerulonephritis is a self-limiting disease and patients are usually completely cured within weeks to months. Chronic glomerulonephritis tends to be prolonged, with a slow decline in renal function and eventual progression to chronic renal failure. Although chronic glomerulonephritis can not be completely cured, but after reasonable drug treatment and dietary regulation, can greatly slow down the decline of renal function, and some patients even lifelong not to progress to uremia. Patients with glomerulonephritis must visit a regular hospital and under the guidance of a specialist physician to undergo the appropriate examination, to clarify the acute and chronic after the cause of treatment.
