How to treat nephritis in women

Nephritis is a group of kidney diseases caused by inflammatory changes in kidney tissues from a variety of causes, resulting in diminished kidney function. Patients with nephritis often present with hematuria and foam in the urine. The onset of some nephritis is related to infection and other factors, while the cause of another part of nephritis is unknown. When patients have symptoms such as hematuria, they should go to a regular hospital as soon as possible and complete relevant laboratory tests such as kidney function tests and urine routine tests under the guidance of a doctor to comprehensively assess their condition. The treatment for female nephritis patients needs to be combined with the etiology, symptoms, and pathological type of comprehensive judgment. A. Hereditary nephritis: Hereditary nephritis is a genetic glomerular basement membrane disease, whose treatment is usually not specific and requires symptomatic treatment according to the symptoms that appear in female patients. Female patients can use drugs such as captopril for antihypertensive treatment, as well as drugs such as atorvastatin for lipid-regulating treatment, and correct renal anemia by supplementing with iron or folic acid. Female patients are advised to eat more meat and use drugs such as hydrochlorothiazide for diuresis to correct hypoproteinemia. All of these treatments can alleviate the progression of hereditary nephritis. However, if a female patient’s hereditary nephritis progresses to end-stage renal failure, dialysis or kidney transplantation is usually required. Secondary nephritis: 1. Lupus nephritis: Lupus nephritis refers to the immune damage that occurs in female patients as a result of SLE attacking the kidneys. Female patients need cause-specific treatment for SLE, and also combine the performance of the patient’s kidneys and the type of pathology to decide the symptomatic treatment plan. If female patients have mild symptoms and normal or stable target organ function, they can be treated with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs such as acetaminophen or glucocorticoids such as prednisone, and immunosuppressive drugs such as cyclophosphamide can be added if necessary. If the patient’s disease has worsened, hormone shock therapy may also be used. If the female patient’s condition has entered the end stage, dialysis treatment is also required; 2, hepatitis B nephritis: hepatitis B virus attacked the female patient’s body, can be combined with the body to produce antibodies, combined with the immune complexes if deposited in the glomerulus, can cause kidney disease. If a female patient has hepatitis B nephritis due to hepatitis B, she usually needs antiviral treatment, which can be done with alpha interferon and nucleoside drugs such as cytarabine as prescribed by the doctor. Depending on the type of disease pathology and the effectiveness of drug therapy, it is also necessary to decide whether to apply hormones such as prednisone or immunosuppressants such as cyclophosphamide for treatment. Primary nephritis: 1. Asymptomatic hematuric nephritis: If a female patient’s nephritis is asymptomatic hematuric nephritis or is accompanied by a very small amount of proteinuria, manifesting as asymptomatic proteinuria, no special treatment is usually needed and regular review of the urine protein situation is sufficient. If the urine protein of female patients is less than 0.3g/d, it can usually be temporarily observed; if the urine protein of female patients is 0.3-1g/d, ACEI and ARB drugs such as captopril, enalapril, telmisartan, irbesartan, etc. can be given for treatment; if the urine protein of female patients is >1g/d, on the basis of applying ACEI and ARB drugs for treatment, it is recommended to Under the guidance of the doctor to improve the renal puncture biopsy, clear pathological type before deciding the next treatment plan; 2. Acute nephritis: If the nephritis of female patients is acute nephritis, often appear hematuria, proteinuria, hypertension, edema, oliguria and renal function damage. Acute nephritis is generally treated symptomatically, such as the use of diuretics such as furosemide and hydrochlorothiazide under the guidance of a doctor to diuretic and reduce swelling, and the use of drugs such as captopril to lower blood pressure. In addition, female patients with acute nephritis also need bed rest, most patients’ symptoms will disappear within 2-4 weeks, and blood pressure will gradually return to normal; 3. Chronic nephritis: If a female patient’s nephritis progresses to chronic nephritis, it mostly manifests as mild to moderate edema, hypertension and renal function impairment. The chronic nephritis starts in different ways, usually with a delayed, slow progression, female patients can show varying degrees of renal decompensation, which may eventually develop into chronic renal failure. Female patients need to follow medical advice to actively control hypertension with drugs such as captopril and valsartan, as well as reduce urinary protein intake by eating low protein foods such as spinach and cabbage. In addition, female patients should avoid factors that aggravate kidney damage such as infection, strain, etc. The daily intake of fluids should also be limited under the guidance of a doctor. 4. Other: If a female patient has a large amount of proteinuria or is diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome, she may need hormone therapy under the guidance of a doctor, such as the use of prednisone and other drugs for treatment. If a female patient presents with acute glomerulonephritis, pathology suggesting crescentic glomerulonephritis, she needs to be treated with glucocorticoids plus cytotoxic drugs such as methotrexate, apply various intensive treatments, and gradually transition to hormone and immunosuppressant maintenance therapy after the female patient’s condition is stabilized. When women suffer from nephritis need to be treated in a timely manner, if not treated in time, it may develop into renal failure or renal insufficiency. In addition to the above treatments, you can also use Chinese medicine to assist in the treatment of Chinese medicine, mainly for tonic Chinese medicine such as Yu Ping Feng granules, Liu Wei Di Huang Wan, Jin Kui Ren Qi Wan, etc.
