What causes nephritis in women?

With the changes of the times, today's society has brought a lot of pressure to female friends, so there are many older single women. Due to the high pressure, many female friends often suffer from some gynecological diseases. Many women are infected with nephritis, and the incidence group of nephritis is gradually expanding. So what are the reasons why women suffer from nephritis in life? Let's learn about it together.

The main reasons why female friends suffer from nephritis:

The cause of female nephritis is that the female urethra is wider, straighter, and leads directly to the bladder, making it more susceptible to infection. The incidence rates of cystitis, urethritis and other diseases are also very high. If the chronic stage is not controlled, it will also lead to nephritis. Therefore, women are naturally more susceptible to kidney diseases. In addition to cooperating with treatment, patients with nephritis should also pay attention to their diet and formulate a diet plan based on their condition, which will help alleviate the condition and shorten the treatment time. Before choosing a treatment method, patients with nephritis should choose a good hospital to achieve the best treatment effect.

What are the symptoms of nephritis in women?

1. Early symptoms of kidney disease in women Symptoms of illness - abnormal urine Due to decreased renal function, kidney disease patients may experience oliguria (urine volume less than 400 ml in 24 hours) or anuria. If you take diuretics, polyuria may occur. In addition, renal insufficiency may also lead to symptoms of increased nocturia and urinary retention. Damage to the glomeruli causes kidney disease patients to often experience symptoms such as hematuria (visible under the microscope or macroscopically), pyuria, and proteinuria. Proteinuria exceeding 3.5 g/day is an important feature of glomerular proteinuria.

2. Early symptoms of kidney disease in women - renal edema. Edema is the result of an increase in the volume of intercellular fluid. The result of the increase in the volume of intercellular fluid is water and sodium retention. The main reason is that kidney disease causes a decrease in glomerular filtration rate, leading to water and sodium excretion disorders, thus resulting in symptoms of renal edema.

3. Symptoms of kidney disease - kidney enlargement. Kidney disease causes abnormal increase in kidney size, which mainly includes unilateral kidney enlargement and bilateral kidney enlargement.

4. Early symptoms of kidney disease in women - renal colic and renal pain. Renal colic is sudden and severe pain in the kidney area, which is intermittent or continuous, and may even worsen in paroxysmal episodes. Some patients may present with atypical renal colic, that is, the colic is mild or relieved quickly. Pain in the kidney area often manifests as distending pain or dull pain, which is persistent and causes a feeling of internal heaviness, and can be unilateral or bilateral pain.

5. Early symptoms of kidney disease in women - hypertension. Some patients with kidney disease may develop hypertension due to damage to renal blood vessels or renal parenchyma. Patients with hypertension are often accompanied by anemia or hypoproteinemia.

Two common triggering factors of nephritis

Nephritis is an immune disease that can be divided into acute and chronic types. Severe cases may cause many complications. The causes of nephritis are relatively complicated. Many friends are very concerned about how nephritis occurs. Experts say that there are currently two main causes of nephritis. The following introduces the causes of nephritis.

Cause 1: Influence of external factors: ① Bacterial infection is the most common external cause of nephritis, and there are many types of pathogens; ② Viral infection, including measles, chickenpox, hepatitis B virus, K-B virus, mumps, herpes zoster and certain tumor virus infections; ③ Parasitic infection, such as Plasmodium, Schistosoma mansoni, Loa filariasis, Trypanosoma, etc.; ④ Fungal infection, such as Candida albicans; ⑤ Biological toxins invading the body, such as pollen, bee venom, snake venom, etc.; ⑥ Drugs, such as penicillamine; ⑦ Heavy metals, such as gold, mercury, lead, etc.

Cause 2: Destruction of immune complexes causes changes in intraglomerular hemodynamics, leading to the "three highs" phenomenon of high blood perfusion, high basement membrane pressure, and high filtration pressure, thus causing progressive glomerular sclerosis. Factors that cause changes in intraglomerular hemodynamics include the compensatory process of the surviving nephrons, some endocrine hormones that affect the dilation of the afferent arterioles and the contraction of the efferent arterioles, and excessive protein, phosphorus, and fat in the diet.

The destruction of immune complexes and external factors may lead to nephritis and renal insufficiency. Some nephritis is caused by interaction, while others are caused by mutual influence. As for what causes nephritis, we need to go to the outpatient clinic for diagnosis. Only by clarifying the cause of the disease can we better treat the disease.
