How do patients with chronic glomerulonephritis disease take care of themselves?

  1.Actively treat the primary disease to prevent the disease from continuing to damage the kidneys.  2.Low protein diet, low salt diet, no overeating: eating too much protein and salt will increase the burden on the kidneys and accelerate the deterioration of kidney function. Excessive salt intake will lead to high blood pressure and damage the kidneys. Bad kidneys also need to control the intake of phosphorus, sodium and potassium.  3, control blood pressure: to control blood pressure below 130/80mmHg, proteinuria is more strict control when the amount of proteinuria is relatively large.  4, control blood sugar: high blood sugar will damage the glomerular capillaries, to try to control blood sugar in the normal range.  5, prevention of colds: colds can increase the burden on the kidneys, and sometimes the reaction caused by colds can increase the damage to the kidneys.  6, urinary tract stones should be treated in a timely manner; patients with prostatic hyperplasia should be alert to hydronephrosis.  7, regular checkups: it is best to do urine and blood creatinine and urea nitrogen tests every six months; the kidney burden will increase when women are pregnant, and kidney function should be monitored.  8.Prevent drugs from kidney damage: many drugs can cause kidney damage, so do not use drugs indiscriminately, including traditional Chinese medicine and western medicine.  9.Chinese medicine: Chinese medicine diagnosis and treatment as well as various Chinese medicines such as rhubarb and cordyceps have certain effect in treating chronic renal insufficiency.  10.Prepare for renal replacement therapy. When patients enter the uremic phase, we should consider the issue of renal replacement therapy. At this time, it is necessary to maintain optimism, seek alternative methods suitable for themselves, and establish blood purification access in advance.
