Chronic glomerulonephritis lesions are all slowly progressive and eventually progress to chronic renal failure. Some patients with mild disease and regular treatment can slow down the rate of progression of renal function for life without entering the uremic stage, while some patients rapidly progress to the uremic stage.
The rate of progression of chronic glomerulonephritis varies greatly among individuals, depending on the type and severity of renal pathology, whether or not effective measures are taken to slow down the progression of renal function, and whether or not appropriate treatment is given and whether or not various risk factors are avoided.
Some patients are detected early and their condition is mild, so they can prevent or delay the progressive damage of renal function by following the doctor’s prescription of medication, dietary adjustments, and avoiding exertion, in order to improve or alleviate the clinical symptoms and prevent and treat the complications. Normal renal function can be maintained for a long time or even for life, and the prognosis is good.
In some patients, the pathology is more serious, found late, and do not comply with the doctor’s instructions for treatment, the condition is delayed and slowly progressing, there can be different degrees of renal function damage, some patients will eventually develop to end-stage renal failure.
If patients have been diagnosed with chronic glomerulonephritis, it is recommended to follow up with regular hospitals and follow the doctor’s instructions for regular treatment to prevent further development of the disease.
