What are the dangers of kidney inflammation in women?

The kidney can be said to be one of the more important organs in the human body. Because it is related to the normal functioning of our body, it needs special protection. Although men sometimes need to keep their kidneys healthy, women should not be careless either. For example, some female friends suffer from chronic nephritis due to stress and getting angry. So what are the hazards of this disease?

1. Reasons why young and middle-aged women are prone to chronic nephritis.

Experts believe that the reason why women in this age group are prone to chronic nephritis is because they are under a lot of stress and are easily irritated. There are also other reasons such as overwork. Experts remind young and middle-aged female friends to pay attention to chronic nephritis. Women are more likely to suffer from chronic nephritis than men, and middle-aged and young women account for the majority. This is mainly related to women's physiological characteristics and stress. Women have shorter urinary tracts and are more likely to have retrograde infections, which is an important factor in damaging the kidneys. High stress can also lead to decreased immune function and metabolic abnormalities, which are disease-inducing factors.

Chronic nephritis does not necessarily have particularly obvious symptoms. Clinical manifestations include: symptoms that appear 2 to 3 weeks after scarlet fever infection, upper respiratory tract infection, and skin purulent infection, such as fever, vomiting, loss of appetite, nausea, fatigue, and hematuria. There may also be edema, mostly swelling of the face and eyelids, and a pale complexion. The swelling is more obvious in the ankles and calves and progresses more quickly. In adults, high blood pressure and edema occur simultaneously, and urine examination reveals proteinuria, tubular urine, and red blood cells. When acute glomerulonephritis is severe, it can cause acute renal dysfunction. If you seek medical attention promptly, you can fully recover. Be careful not to take medicine randomly on your own. Many medicines will increase the burden on your kidneys and may worsen your condition. Patients with chronic nephritis should rest in bed after the illness and pay attention to the increase in blood pressure. Take antihypertensive drugs as prescribed by your doctor when necessary.

2. What are the hazards of chronic nephritis in women?

What are the dangers of chronic nephritis in women? Experts from the Nephrology Department of Beijing Jundu Hospital tell you based on years of clinical experience: Since patients with chronic nephritis suffer from the disease for a long time, the disease often relapses, and there is a lack of effective treatment, many patients are prone to irritability, pessimism, disappointment, and even self-abandonment, which will directly damage the patient's physical and mental health and affect the condition. Therefore, a harmonious family life and care and consideration between husband and wife are very important. The husband should help his wife treat the disease correctly, maintain an optimistic mood, prevent infection, combine work and rest, live a regular life, have a moderate sexual life, and avoid excessive fatigue, which is conducive to the stability and recovery of chronic nephritis. Chronic nephritis is difficult to treat, and if it is not treated properly or in time, it may develop into uremia and endanger life. If a woman suffers from chronic nephritis, the situation will be even more serious. Chronic nephritis is very likely to cause female patients to be infertile.

People with chronic nephritis accompanied by chronic renal failure are not suitable for childbearing. After a woman with renal failure becomes pregnant, her kidneys may be overwhelmed and she may develop renal insufficiency and uremia, which is life-threatening.
