Causes of acute pyelonephritis

summary

Recently, my aunt always feels loss of appetite, dizziness and fatigue, and sometimes has some fever. At the beginning, she just thought it was caused by the hot weather, but she didn't get better after a few days of rest. After seeing the doctor, she learned that it was caused by pyelonephritis. Today, let me talk about the cause of acute pyelonephritis.

Causes of acute pyelonephritis

Reason 1: first, it is related to the pathological type of nephritis itself, for example, some pathological types are irreversible, such as focal segmental glomerulosclerosis. When the condition is unstable, because of pregnancy, long-distance travel, sports also often lead to repeated or aggravated condition. Patients with impaired renal function may also be aggravated by improper diet.

Second, the recurrence of acute pyelonephritis is related to the rational use of drugs, especially the rational use of hormones, cytotoxic drugs and antihypertensive drugs. Inpatients are often able to deal with this problem well, but outpatient patients are easy to ignore it. Especially for patients with mild symptoms, patients often do not follow the doctor's advice, increase or decrease drugs by themselves or even stop using drugs.

The third reason: the function of patients with acute pyelonephritis is low, especially those with anemia and hypoproteinemia, their own constitution and resistance are low, they are not resistant to fatigue, and they are easy to be infected. Once their life and work are irregular, they will be aggravated due to infection, especially upper respiratory tract infection, fatigue and other factors, and even show acute attack of chronic nephritis, or lead to deterioration of renal function.
