Is nephritis curable?

Whether nephritis is curable or not mainly depends on the cause of nephritis and the type of pathology. For example, acute nephritis or part of chronic nephritis is relatively curable, part of chronic nephritis can not be completely cured, and a small number of them will even progress to uremia. There are very many types of nephritis, acute nephritis is a self-limiting disease, the vast majority of patients may be cured after treatment. Chronic nephritis with mild pathologic types, such as mild thylakoid proliferative glomerulonephritis, some IgA nephropathy, membranous nephropathy, etc., can also make urine protein turn negative through treatment, and may also achieve clinical cure. The above cases are relatively well treated. For some patients with more serious pathologies, such as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis and membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, even after active treatment, the renal function may still decline gradually and eventually lead to uremia, which is usually not curable. Patients with glomerulonephritis are advised to go to regular hospitals for timely consultation and targeted treatment or therapy under the guidance of doctors.
