Early chronic nephritis may be effectively controlled to alleviate the speed of disease development, but usually cannot be completely cured. Chronic nephritis starts slowly, with proteinuria, hematuria, edema and high blood pressure as the main manifestations, and may be accompanied by different degrees of renal failure, which may be mild or severe, prolonged, and progressively develop into chronic renal failure. Early chronic nephritis is usually incurable and requires lifelong treatment. Common treatments include limiting the intake of protein and phosphorus in food, lowering blood pressure, lowering urinary protein, and using medications such as hormones (e.g., prednisone) or immunosuppressants (e.g., tacrolimus). Early stage chronic nephritis patients should go to the hospital in time and receive standardized treatment under the guidance of a professional physician, and should not use medication on their own.
