What are the dangers of glomerulonephritis in women?

The danger of glomerulonephritis in women depends on the severity of glomerulonephritis. For mild glomerulonephritis, the clinical manifestations of the patient are only hematuria and proteinuria, so the danger to the body is not great. However, patients with severe glomerulonephritis will have elevated blood pressure and renal insufficiency in addition to hematuria and proteinuria, so it is more harmful to the body. From the point of view of kidney, if women suffer from glomerulonephritis, with the progress of time there will be renal failure, uremia, and patients need dialysis treatment. Female patients with glomerulonephritis usually have weaker resistance, especially those who use hormones and immunosuppressants for a long time, which is especially likely to lead to respiratory infections. From the cardiovascular point of view, the late stage of female glomerulonephritis is especially prone to lead to high blood pressure, heart disease, heart failure and so on. From the perspective of digestive system, it is especially likely to lead to erosive gastritis. Besides that, female glomerulonephritis patients are especially prone to irregular menstruation, menstrual disorders, and even infertility.
