Interpretation: "quick" and "slow" of nephritis

Some people believe that acute nephritis is the same disease as chronic nephritis, and chronic nephritis is caused by acute nephritis.Experts make a note here, based on: often because of acute nephritis, not timely and complete treatment of streptococcal infection, morphing into chronic nephritis.

At present on the etiology and pathogenesis of chronic nephritis is not yet fully understood, only 15% ~ 15% of clinical acute nephritis develop into chronic nephritis, most chronic nephritis, there is no history of acute glomerulonephritis.

Some people believe that acute nephritis is the same disease as chronic nephritis, and chronic nephritis is caused by acute nephritis.The basis is: often because of acute nephritis, did not timely and thoroughly treat streptococcal infection, become chronic nephritis.Chronic tonsillitis, chronic subsinusitis, recurrent percutaneous disease, and erysitis can be the cause of chronic nephritis.Therefore, it is important to treat and clear the infection to prevent future infection.But most acute nephritis with no fixed causal relationship between chronic nephritis, can with other bacteria, parasites (e.g., p. malariae), viruses, such as confirmed chronic glomerulonephritis associated with hepatitis b virus.Certain medications can cause chronic nephritis, such as painkillers directly to the kidneys, or a drug that becomes an antigen or a semi-antigens that causes the kidneys to gradually form an immune response and become inflammatory.There are some autoimmune diseases, such as lupus erythematosus, which often affect the kidneys and show chronic nephritis symptoms.

In summary, chronic nephritis is usually the pathological change of chronic nephritis when onset, and only a few have developed chronic nephritis by recurrent episodes of acute nephritis.Acute nephritis without special effects can heal itself.Treatment focuses on intensive care, attention monitoring, if serious symptoms occur, timely measures to take control.
