The main hazards of membranous nephropathy include infection, embolism, and decreased renal function.
Patients with membranous nephropathy mainly show large amount of proteinuria and hypoproteinemia. Large amount of proteinuria will lead to patients’ immunity decline, easily induced various infections, and even lead to death in serious cases.
Large amount of proteinuria will lead to the loss of coagulation substances, thus causing hypercoagulable state, which is easy to lead to thrombosis, such as pulmonary embolism, renal vein embolism and so on.
If membranous nephropathy is not actively treated, renal function will gradually decline, which may lead to severe edema, electrolyte disorders, heart failure, renal anemia, renal hypertension, etc., and may eventually lead to uremia.
Therefore, patients with membranous nephropathy must be treated early and actively, which can make the urine protein become negative or the amount of urine protein decrease, reduce the occurrence of various complications and slow down the decline of renal function.
Membranous nephropathy patients are advised to go to regular hospitals in time and follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment.
