What is occult nephritis
Concealed nephritis refers to a group of primary glomerular diseases with no obvious clinical symptoms and signs, normal renal function, mild persistent or intermittent proteinuria or hematuria (sometimes recurrent gross hematuria), lingering condition and slow progress. Concealed nephritis is more common in children and young people, and the onset age is mostly 10-30 years old, and it is rare over 40 years old, with more males than females.
Because the early occurrence and development of occult nephritis is very hidden, it can be completely asymptomatic or has few symptoms, which is often ignored by people. Most patients are often found in physical examination, or because of other diseases, some have developed into chronic nephritis, renal insufficiency, and even renal failure or uremia. Renal failure or uremia can be avoided if it can be found and treated early.
There is a consistent view that the cause of occult nephritis is bacterial or viral infection. Urine abnormalities of diseases can be divided into three forms: 1. The main form is mild proteinuria, and the quantitative urine protein is
Early symptoms of recessive nephritis
1, persistent mild to moderate proteinuria, 24-hour urine protein quantitative less than 1g, urine sediment can have granular cast and a small number of red blood cells. Pathological changes were mostly mild mesangial hyperplasia or focal mesangial hyperplasia.
2, continuous or intermittent hematuria, phase contrast microscope examination of abnormal urine red blood cells. Often under the influence of fever, pharyngitis, overwork, catching cold, drug damage and other incentives, transient focal hyperplasia can be seen by the naked eye.
3, persistent proteinuria and hematuria, sometimes edema, elevated blood pressure, etc. But after induction, it can be restored to its original hidden state. The prognosis of these patients is poor, and it is easy to develop into renal insufficiency.
Prevention and treatment of occult nephritis
Experts pointed out that patients with occult nephritis are not obviously ill, but the course of disease is long and recurrent. At this time, parents should be reminded not to worry. This disease needs long-term treatment. At this time, it is very important to help children develop good eating and living habits.
1, usually pay attention to strengthen physical exercise, enhance the body's immunity and disease resistance. When the weather changes, pay attention to increase or decrease clothes in time to minimize colds.
2. Develop a good lifestyle, take a break in time and participate in sports activities. Don't make your child too tired, some drugs will further aggravate kidney damage, so parents should not give their children drugs at will, and take them under the guidance of a doctor if necessary.
3. Provide a high-quality and high-protein diet, such as milk and eggs, but control the intake of plant protein when renal insufficiency occurs. In a normal diet, we should ensure the intake of carbohydrates, provide enough calories and reduce the decomposition of protein. Limit sodium intake. Sodium in children's daily diet should be 1-2g, and potassium intake should be controlled during oliguria to ensure comprehensive nutrition.
