Symptoms of chronic nephritis in women: these are the most common

Chronic nephritis occurs differently in men and women, so the symptoms are somewhat different. Not only that, the severity and harmfulness of nephritis are different, so the symptoms will also be different, so it is very complicated.

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.
