Some patients with chronic nephritis can live to a normal life expectancy, while patients with severe disease will have a shorter life expectancy, which varies from person to person.
The basic clinical manifestations of chronic nephritis are hematuria, proteinuria, edema, and hypertension, and the disease will continue to progress and eventually develop renal failure and uremia.
1. If the pathological type of chronic nephritis patients is mild, for example, mesangial proliferative nephritis, and then after hormone (methylprednisolone) and immunosuppressant (cyclophosphamide), as well as ACEI (captopril) and ARB (chlorsartan) type of drugs, the patients’ high blood pressure and renal function deteriorate to a lesser extent.
At the same time, they pay attention to healthy diet and proper exercise in their life, and they can live to a normal life expectancy in the absence of other serious complications.
2. If the pathology type is poor, such as mixed chronic nephritis, and combined with diabetes, coronary heart disease and other comorbidities, and the condition is not well controlled, then the patient’s life expectancy is generally not up to the level of normal people.
Therefore, the life expectancy of patients with chronic nephritis depends on the specific type of pathology and the appropriateness of treatment. It is recommended that patients go to regular hospitals in time to avoid the deterioration of their condition. The above drugs should be used under the guidance of a doctor.
