Patient: In April and May, high blood pressure was found in two consecutive physical examinations, and then I went to the hospital and was diagnosed with acute nephritis, and was discharged after 21 days of hospitalization. The other two tests were in the 400s. After being discharged from the hospital, I have been following the medication prescribed by the doctor to lower my blood pressure, which has been stable at less than 120/80. The doctor said to test the urine routine and kidney function every two months, and I would like to consult the results of my tests. The biochemistry 13 tests showed high uric acid and cholesterol. Is there something wrong with my kidneys? Thank you! Hospital Chinese Medicine: If the diagnosis of acute glomerulonephritis (full name: acute glomerulonephritis after streptococcal infection) is clear, it is a disease with good prognosis and can be cured by itself, so there is no need to worry. The problem is whether your diagnosis of acute glomerulonephritis can be clear. Acute glomerulonephritis is a disease caused by the formation of a large number of immune complexes in the kidney after a species of streptococcal infection, so its clinical manifestations are very characteristic, one is a clear history of streptococcal infection, while there is an incubation period (about 2 weeks) from the infection to the appearance of nephritis symptoms (swelling, hypertension, proteinuria, hematuria, etc.), and blood examination will reveal hypocomplementemia, markedly elevated streptococcal antibodies (ASO), and markedly elevated hematocrit. The differential diagnosis of acute glomerulonephritis and chronic glomerulonephritis cannot be distinguished simply by the length of the disease. Many patients with chronic glomerulonephritis can usually have no symptoms, but symptoms will appear after a cold and fever. The key to distinguishing acute from chronic at this point is to see if there is a clear incubation period from the time of infection to the appearance of symptoms, and if the symptoms of nephritis appear 2 to 3 days after the infection and fever, the If the symptoms of nephritis appear 10 to 14 days after the onset of fever, then acute nephritis should be considered. Sometimes it is not clear that a kidney biopsy is needed to differentiate.
