The severity of mixed red blood cells in nephritis needs to be judged according to the specific condition and cannot be generalized.
Due to the destruction of the glomerular filtration barrier, patients with nephritis will have red blood cells in the urine, at this time the red blood cells are mainly malformed red blood cells, but there may also be mixed red blood cells. The number of red blood cells and the proportion of aberrant cells do not reflect the severity of nephritis.
Simple red blood cells have very little damage to the kidneys, and if there is no urine protein, edema, high blood pressure, and creatinine increase, the renal function of the patient can be maintained stable for a long time.
A small number of patients with nephritis, if combined with urinary tract infection, urinary stones, tumors, or the application of anticoagulant drugs, antiplatelet drugs lead to bleeding in the urinary system, can also appear mixed red blood cells, this time you need to determine the severity of the primary disease, such as malignant tumors lead to occult blood is relatively more serious.
It is recommended that patients with nephritis who have mixed red blood cells should go to the hospital in time, complete the relevant examinations under the guidance of the doctor, and follow the doctor’s instructions for treatment.
