Nephritis is a common disease, the incidence rate of about 2.8 ‰ ~ 5 ‰, and there is an upward trend, which, among many patients because of inappropriate treatment measures, the more because of the existence of erroneous understanding of the disease nephritis , so that a simple condition had become complicated, resulting in delayed treatment or worse. Misunderstanding 1:Nephritis is the incurable diseaseIn fact, nephritis not only government, but the vast majority can be cured or can be controlled. Good or bad depends largely on efficacy of treatment is timely, reasonable, and with the patient's own conditioning related (such as diet, rest). People have this incorrect view, first, the incidence is hidden because of nephritis in itself, difficult to be detected earlier, when a large number of renal tissue damage occurs, loss of function only to the treatment, when compared to late; Second, some patients by remission after treatment, self feel good that the condition has been cured, ignore the consolidation phase of treatment and follow-up, when feeling unwell Zaiqu treatment, the nature of the disease have occurred in the nature of change. So each one kidney disease regardless of how the patient should be reviewed on a regular basis to monitor the disease's development. Misunderstanding 2:No intake of saltMedicine on the salt intake in patients with nephritis is very strict and advocated restrictions on salt intake of these patients, but not many people believe that the non-intake of salt. Salt is an essential element of the body tissue metabolism, long-term intake of salt is not the role of not only not achieve remission of disease, but will decline in many organ is not conducive to recovery, light conditions were so persistent, severe cases, life-threatening. Under normal circumstances, without obvious swelling and high blood pressure, 3 ~ 5g of salt a day can be added; severe edema or high blood pressure, may be appropriate to reduce salt intake, daily 1 ~ 3g or a doctor's advice is appropriate.  Misunderstanding 3:To eat animal kidneys, you can nourish the kidney.In fact, although the protein content of kidneys of animals higher, but unfit for human consumption, because of cholesterol, is also very high purine content will increase the burden on the kidney. Misunderstanding 4:The water will add to the burden on the kidney.In fact the contrary, the human body if a large part of both metabolites from the urine excreted. If the urine enough, it could result in accumulation of the body's metabolism, increase kidney damage. Misunderstanding 5:Frequent, excessive use of antibiotics.Some patients with the nephritis and the general inflammatory diseases (such as enteritis, pneumonia, bladder Yandeng) have been equated, using antibiotics. In fact, there are essential differences between the two, nephritis is caused by abnormal immune system, while the inflammatory disease is caused by a bacterial infection. The latter can be treated with antibiotics, while the former is the major treatment is to remove antigens and suppress abnormal immune response, mainly used immunosuppressants. Many antibiotics are associated with renal toxicity, if abused, can also cause kidney damage, increased renal lesions. 2010-03-12
