Chronic nephritis has the same characteristics as most chronic diseases: complex etiology, strong concealment, difficult treatment, recurrent attacks, and so on. Due to its concealment, it is difficult to make an accurate diagnosis in the early stages. Many people mistakenly believe that it is just a temporary physical discomfort, but at this time, chronic nephritis has already begun to invade the body. So what are the initial symptoms of chronic nephritis.
The initial symptoms of chronic nephritis are generally not very obvious, known as "mute nephritis", and some patients have no symptoms, similar to normal people. In fact, this disease is somewhat superficial, with four common types: edema, hypertension, proteinuria, and hematuria. Now let's introduce
Edema, nephritis, and edema are often characterized by lower limb edema and early morning eyelid edema. Lower limb edema is often mistaken for standing for too long.
High blood pressure, many people discover it by chance, especially young people who do not feel dizzy or palpitations, and do not intentionally take their blood pressure, so they do not know if their blood pressure is high.
Proteinuria, when proteinuria occurs, the urine is usually very turbid, and foam is not easy to disappear.
Hematuria, everyone may have some misconceptions about hematuria. Some people believe that hematuria is blood that can be seen in urine, but in fact, hematuria in chronic nephritis cannot be seen with the naked eye and must be seen under a microscope.
From the above introduction, it can be seen that the early stages of chronic nephritis are not asymptomatic. It often appears together with other symptoms, making many people feel uncomfortable with kidney problems, which is why there are many misdiagnosis cases. Therefore, in diagnosing nephritis, it is necessary to understand the relationship between various symptoms.
