For many patients who consult online as well as outpatient consultation, there is a very prominent and concerned question, that is, whether chronic nephritis can be cured, or whether chronic kidney disease can be cured. In fact, for kidney disease, many chronic diseases can be cured. Lun Lide, Department of Rheumatology and Nephrology, Air Force General Hospital
Let’s say that usually people will catch a cold many times in their life, and each time they catch a cold, the symptoms may be different (there will be cough, sneeze, fever, fear of cold, body aches and other clinical symptoms), and there may be a difference in severity, but after treatment will be relieved, so it is said to be cured, but later, as we grow older and resistance decreases, the cold will attack again.
The same applies to kidney disease. Although the diagnosis of “chronic” nephritis is a medical term relative to “acute” nephritis, it does not mean that the disease is lifelong and cannot be cured, but in fact many chronic nephritis manifests itself as proteinuria, hematuria, or once had swelling, after In fact, many chronic nephritis manifestations are proteinuria, hematuria, or had swelling, after standard treatment, urine test is normal, swelling and other clinical manifestations of relief, that is cured. Then you say whether it will recur in the future, just like the flu, no one can guarantee that they will never catch a cold in their life. It is the same with kidney disease, in the future, exertion, infection and many factors may trigger the appearance of the above manifestations again. Compared with patients who have no history of kidney disease, they may be relatively more prone to trigger some of them. However, early and correct diagnosis and treatment, good lifestyle habits and strengthening the body’s resistance can control the recurrence of kidney disease.
Therefore, for many patients, the diagnosis of “chronic” kidney disease is not terrible, please face the disease, with a positive attitude and mentality to deal with. Finally, I wish all kidney disease patients a speedy recovery!
