Cryptogenic nephritis can live for 50 years.
Cryptogenic nephritis can live for 50 years with better treatment and control, but need to pay attention to regular review.
Cryptogenic nephritis usually has only hematuria, mild to moderate proteinuria, and less often accompanied by renal impairment, edema and hypertension, so the prognosis is better. In most cases, renal function can be maintained stable for a long time, and a few of them can be cured on their own, but the occurrence of severe renal impairment is not excluded.
As there is no special symptom, it is often ignored. If cryptogenic nephritis is diagnosed in the examination, you need to pay attention to the regular review, including the examination of urine routine, blood pressure and renal function. If a tendency of high blood pressure is found, or the examination shows obvious increase of urine protein (>1g/d), antihypertensive drugs, such as captopril and valsartan, can be used according to the condition.
Patients with cryptogenic nephritis are advised to consult regular hospitals in time and standardize the treatment under the guidance of physicians to delay the progression of the disease.
