Nephritis generally refers to glomerulonephritis, and its etiology needs to be analyzed according to the type, which is divided into primary glomerulonephritis, secondary glomerulonephritis and hereditary nephritis, etc. The common etiologies include streptococcal infection, immune-mediated inflammatory response, genetic mutation, etc.
1. Primary glomerulonephritis: the etiology of the disease is still unclear, and it is generally believed to be related to immune response-mediated inflammatory injury, in addition, there are also non-immune and non-inflammatory factors involved, such as acute glomerulonephritis caused by acute streptococcal infections, and immune complex-mediated crescentic nephritis.
2. Secondary glomerulonephritis: secondary nephritis often caused by clear primary diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, allergic purpura, diabetes mellitus, hypertension and other causes of kidney damage.
3. Hereditary nephritis: such as AIport syndrome, glomerulonephritis mainly caused by gene mutation.
If you have nephritis, you need to consult the regular hospital in time so as not to delay the condition.
