Nephropathy

Nephropathy is a kidney disease that can lead to serious health consequences. It can be caused by various factors such as infections, autoimmune diseases, genetic disorders, toxic substances and others.

Nephropathy can manifest itself in the form of various symptoms, such as lower back pain, swelling, high blood pressure, decreased kidney function, and others. If left untreated, nephropathy can lead to chronic kidney failure, which can lead to death.

Various methods are used to diagnose nephropathy, such as urine analysis, kidney ultrasound, computed tomography and others. Treatment for nephropathy depends on the cause and may include antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs, immunosuppressants, and other medications.

Prevention of nephropathy involves a healthy lifestyle, quitting smoking and alcohol, proper nutrition, regular exercise and blood pressure control. If you think you may have nephropathy, see your doctor for diagnosis and treatment.

Nephropathy is a group of kidney diseases in which blood filtration processes are disrupted and excess urine is produced. These diseases are accompanied by general symptoms. The main causes of nephropathy are atherosclerosis, diabetes mellitus, arterial hypertension, infectious and toxic kidney damage.

Nephropathies occur at any age, however, they most often occur after 40 years. Women suffer from them twice as often. The causes of development depend on the group of diseases; there are different types of pathology. These include nephritic syndrome (inflammation of the kidneys), chronic renal failure (death of renal tissue structures), stenosis of the ureteropelvic segment (narrowing of the lumen of the renal tubules).

With nephropathies, the composition of the blood is disrupted, and therefore all vital functions of the body. Therefore, a person has to carry out a set of measures to cope with the disease and stop the process. The course of the disease depends on the form and stage at which it arose. Thus, primary or congenital nephropathies arise due to a disruption in the synthesis of structural elements in the embryo at an early stage of its development. And acquired ones appear as a result of acquired metabolic disorders, injuries, infections, etc.

Acute nephritic or acute glomerulonephritis occurs more often at the age of 20-40 years and is characterized by rapid onset and progression. The development is accompanied by disruption of internal blood filtration processes, damage and swelling of the gastrointestinal mucosa, etc. Chronic renal failure occurs in the event of irreversible changes in the structure and function of renal tissue. Clinical signs include fatigue, weakness, headache, decreased performance, and swelling.
