What are the manifestations of lupus nephritis

summary

My brother told me that he had hematuria recently. He was so afraid that I took him to the hospital for examination. The doctor said that the content of urine protein in his brother's body is too high, which may be kidney disease. If not treated, it will definitely cause uremia. Next, I will talk about the manifestations of lupus nephritis.

What are the manifestations of lupus nephritis

First: asymptomatic proteinuria and (or) hematuria type: this type is more common. The main manifestations were mild to moderate proteinuria (< 2.5G or (and) hematuria. Acute nephritis syndrome type: rare, clinical manifestations similar to Streptococcus infection after acute nephritis. The syndrome type of acute progressive glomerulonephritis is rare, which is similar to acute progressive glomerulonephritis. It is characterized by a more than 1-fold increase in serum creatinine within 3 months. Uremia occurs within weeks and months.

Second: nephrotic syndrome type, this type is common, accounting for about 2 / 3, but does not necessarily have hyperlipidemia. If not treated, most patients can develop to uremia within 2-3 years. This type is often confused with primary nephrotic syndrome. Chronic nephritis syndrome type: continuous proteinuria, hematuria, tubular urine and varying degrees of edema, hypertension, anemia and renal insufficiency.

Third: the course of disease is long, protracted, and then uremia. A small number of patients may present with chronic tubulointerstitial nephritis like clinical manifestations, that is, patients have the clinical manifestations of electrolyte disorder such as decreased urine specific gravity and (or) osmotic pressure, nocturia, hyperkalemia or hypokalemia. In the end stage of lupus nephritis, uremia may occur. At this time, the clinical manifestations (including serological examination) of the patient may disappear or become atypical.

matters needing attention

Many patients with lupus nephritis at the beginning of the disease stage and no abnormal, after may gradually appear hematuria, proteinuria and other symptoms. Some patients with edema and anemia will also appear. It is suggested that Everbright patients have some similar clinical symptoms and go to check and treat as soon as possible.
