What is secondary membranous nephropathy

summary

Recently, Yuanyuan Biao Gu was diagnosed with secondary membranous nephropathy, which usually has edema and lipid blood symptoms. For secondary membranous nephropathy, I believe we do not know very well. We learned a lot after consulting the doctor. Now let me introduce to you what secondary membranous nephropathy is.

What is secondary membranous nephropathy

First, membranous nephropathy is a pathomorphological diagnostic term, which is a common cause of adult nephrotic syndrome. Its characteristic pathological change is the deposition of a large number of immune complexes on the epithelial side of glomerular capillary loop. The clinical manifestations were nephrotic syndrome (massive proteinuria, hypoproteinemia, high edema, hyperlipidemia), or asymptomatic proteinuria in non nephrotic range.

Second, secondary membranous nephropathy. Secondary to many systemic diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, hepatitis B virus infection, as well as drugs, poisons, tumor or environmental factors, the drugs causing secondary membranous nephropathy mainly include some gold preparations, mercury, penicillamine, ibuprofen, diclofenac, etc.

Third: membranous nephritis has a long course of disease and slow progress. Some cases may have spontaneous remission. It is suggested that proper rest can improve renal blood flow. When edema is obvious, sodium salt should be limited. When ineffective, diuretics such as furosemide and spironolactone should be used appropriately. Medium dose of hormone can be used for 6-8 weeks. The drug can be reduced quickly to stop in ineffective cases, and slowly reduced to alternate day therapy in effective cases, and maintained for a long time. In case of hypercoagulability and renal vein thrombosis, heparin or oral administration of warfarin and panshengding can be used for a long time.

matters needing attention

I believe that through the above introduction, we have some understanding of what secondary membranous nephropathy is, because this disease is secondary to many systemic diseases, so it is suggested that we should have a proper rest on weekdays, eat more food beneficial to nephropathy, and supplement more water.
