Jade is a kidney disease that affects the glomerular apparatus. More often the disease occurs in women. It has several types that differ in symptoms and severity. Jade appears both as an independent disease and after suffering from other diseases.
Reasons
The causes of the development of nephritis depend on the mechanism by which the inflammation of the kidneys occurred - primary or secondary.
- The cause of the primary mechanism is the development of inflammation due to the pathogen entering the structure of the organ.
- The cause of the secondary mechanism is a large-scale infection with an infection that can affect not only the body as a whole, but also the kidneys.
More often, the disease happens if the immune system has already lost the ability to resist microbes and allowed to spread throughout the body. But it is also important to consider the general causes that contribute to infection:
- mercury or lead poisoning;
- intoxication of the body with poisons;
- presence of autoimmune diseases;
- pathology in the perirenal space;
- excessive consumption of sugar in diabetes;
- metabolic disorder inbody;
- oncopathology;
- infectious diseases;
- some diseases of the reproductive system;
- presence of thrombotic vessels surrounding the kidney;
- taking strong drugs based on antibiotics, more often synthetic ones.
Symptoms
Symptoms of nephritis disease do not depend on the causes of occurrence, but differ depending on the duration of infection. Common symptoms are listed below:
- pelvic pain;
- discomfort during urination;
- frequent forced urination;
- presence of sediment in the urine;
- presence of pus or blood components in the urine;
- swelling of different parts of the body;
- presence of vomiting;
- fever and chills;
- increase or decrease in pressure.
Depending on the type of disease, the symptoms of kidney nephritis in adults may be different.
Diagnosis
The effectiveness of the treatment of nephritis mainly depends on the quality of the patient's diagnosis and the correct determination of the type of disease. This is because nephritis has several stages that need to be treated differently. If symptoms characteristic of nephritis appear, the doctor has the right to prescribe the following types of studies:
- Urine analysis. Since the kidneys are involved in the formation and excretion of urine, their condition is also determined by the state of urine. A sign of illness is the presence of a large number of red blood cells or white blood cells in the urine.
- Blood test. If doctors find highthe number of leukocytes in the blood, this will mean that the body is trying to defeat the infection. To clarify in which kidney inflammation occurs, blood is taken from both sides of the lower back. It is also important to donate blood for biochemistry, as the presence of urea in the blood indicates a pathology in the kidneys.
- Ultrasound of the kidneys. Ultrasound of the kidneys allows you to quickly determine the state of the kidney, namely the condition of the nodules and tubules. Since the above methods may not show results in the initial stages, the doctor prescribes a kidney biopsy.
Views
There are four types of common inflammatory pathologies of the kidneys:
- Glomerulonephritis is a kidney disease that affects the glomeruli. Since the main component for the filter is the glomerulus, if it is damaged, the ability to filter is reduced. This leads to the fact that on the one hand, blood enters the urine, and on the other hand, the ability to remove toxins from the body is lost.
- Pyelonephritis is an acute course of nephritis in which the renal pelvis, parenchyma and calyces are affected, leading to difficulty in removing urine from the kidney. Inflammation begins after the penetration of bacteria from the bladder. Due to the structure of the pelvic organs in humans, women are more likely to suffer from this type of nephritis.
- Interstitial nephritis is a pathological process that affects the interstitial tissue that is located between the renal tubules, while other parts of the kidneys are not affected. This leads to an increase andkidney swelling. Interstitial nephritis is characterized by a non-infectious nature of education. The disease occurs at any age. According to statistics, people aged 20 to 50 get sick with interstitial nephritis. The form is divided into acute and chronic.
- Radiation jade - jade that occurs as a result of irradiation. The disease occurs both after a single and regular charging with radionuclides. Accompanied by dystrophy of the epithelium of the tubules. The sensitive kidney parenchyma also suffers from irradiation.
All types of inflammatory pathology are characterized by common symptoms, but to determine a specific type, additional symptoms are distinguished, which depend on the condition of the person.
Therapy
Drugs that the patient should take are prescribed only by a doctor, in no case do not self-medicate, because this leads to bad consequences. After an accurate diagnosis, a period of medication is prescribed depending on the form of the disease. If the drug is the cause of the disease, then the intake is urgently stopped, and an injection is administered, which removes the remnants of the drug in the blood. In an infectious disease, antiviral drugs and antibiotics are used. The elimination of symptoms is carried out with the help of solutions that allow you to control the release of urine. With the help of drugs, you can normalize the pressure. When the kidneys do not cope with their function, the blood is purified using special equipment.
Drugs
Types of drugs fortreatment:
- Detoxification - diuretic drugs are prescribed.
- Limiting the formation of antibodies - glucocorticosteroids.
- Restrictions on growth (development) of cells - cytostatics.
- Normalization of pressure - diuretics.
- Cleaning up the lack of vitamins in the body - vitamins A, B, C, etc.
- Jade can be cured in the initial stages, but if nothing is done, it can be fatal.
Folk methods
Depending on the symptoms, the treatment of nephritis - kidney disease in adults - has long been carried out with the help of folk remedies. They are recommended to be used regularly with periodic changes in the recipe. If potent recipes are used, then it is imperative to take short breaks. Before using folk remedies, you need to adjust the diet. With nephritis, it is recommended to use the following folk recipes and recommendations:
- Tincture consisting of 300 g of onion, 1 teaspoon of honey, 1 tablespoon of rosemary leaves. The tincture is prepared on the basis of 700 ml of dry white wine. It is infused without exposure to sunlight for about 20 days. Take 3 tablespoons 3 times daily before meals.
- Raw potato juice is used to wash the kidneys and as a diuretic. Drink freshly squeezed juice 0.5 cups in the morning on an empty stomach.
- To strengthen the kidneys use a mixture of potato and rowan juice, which insist for 1 hour.
- Dailydrink half a liter of freshly squeezed blueberry juice.
- Pour 1 tablespoon of dry chamomile flowers from the pharmacy with 1 cup of boiling water. Consume 1 tablespoon 3 times a day.
- Decoction of lingonberry leaf. Take 1 cup 3 times a day 30 minutes before meals.
Diet
Diet for nephritis disease should not be radically different from everyday. But for effective treatment, the diet will still have to be revised to prevent the possibility of kidney overload. Most people will not have to limit themselves in their favorite dishes, but if you are a lover of harmful things, then only sparing foods will have to be left in the diet. During the diet, it is recommended to adhere to the following recommendations that should be followed:
- eat protein-rich foods;
- make a diet so that the calorie content of the daily diet is high;
- observe the presence of a large number of vitamins in the diet;
- adjust water-s alt balance;
- fragmentation of the diet, i.e. eat up to 6 times a day.
The following are foods that can be consumed during jade:
- bread of any kind;
- all sorts of soups (best without adding meat);
- lean meats;
- lean fish meat;
- eggs in small quantities;
- from sweets - honey, wild berries and fruits;
- any kind of tea will do as a beverage.
In severe form of acute nephritis, it is necessary to completelyexclude s alt. The amount of water should be comparable to the amount of urine excreted from the body.
Prevention
The main points to be observed for the prevention of nephritis:
- timely treatment of any infectious disease that leads to weakened immunity and re-infection with nephritis;
- enjoy a he althy lifestyle that includes regular exercise, proper nutrition and adequate rest;
- to carry out activities that can raise the level of immunity;
- avoid hypothermia. Hypothermia causes a violation of the blood supply and nutrition of the kidneys, which in turn can play a role in the formation of this pathology;
- hardening the body will help in overall he alth promotion;
- try not to communicate with a person who has this disease, as the bacteria they have can be transmitted to you;
- drinking a normal amount of water to help keep the kidneys clean;
- avoid drafts at any time of the year.
Danger
The disease, if it is not treated in a timely manner, does not go away without complications. The main ones are called heart failure and eclamptic seizures. Pathologies of the cardiac system are manifested in the form of cyanosis, shortness of breath, enlarged heart. Then there is the occurrence of congestion in the lungs, manifested in the form of wheezing and coughing with sputum. In rare cases, pulmonary edema is possible. Swelling occurs with eclampsiabrain and spasm of cerebral vessels. It manifests itself in the form of migraine and vomiting. It flows hard, but passes quickly enough.
