The difference between glomerulonephritis and pyelonephritis lies in the location of lesions, etiology, clinical manifestations and treatment modalities.
1. Different lesion locations and causes: glomerulonephritis is often caused by immune complexes deposited in the glomeruli due to immunological abnormalities, while pyelonephritis is an acute suppurative inflammation caused by bacterial infection in the renal pelvis.
2. Different clinical manifestations: patients with glomerulonephritis often have symptoms such as hematuria, edema, high blood pressure, urine protein, etc., while pyelonephritis is common symptoms such as back pain, fever and bacteriuria.
3. Different treatments: glomerulonephritis is often treated with glucocorticoid drugs such as prednisone, cyclophosphamide and immunosuppressants, while pyelonephritis is often treated with antimicrobial drugs such as furaztoxin and levofloxacin.
If you have any discomfort, you should go to the hospital in time, complete the examination, make a clear diagnosis, and follow the doctor’s instructions to give standardized treatment.
