Some people may experience back pain, frequent urination at night, and other symptoms in their daily lives, and they think they have kidney deficiency. Some symptoms of nephritis may also have these symptoms. How to distinguish between kidney deficiency and nephritis? What are the symptoms?

Symptoms of Nephritis

1. Acute glomerulonephritis: It is a group of diseases with acute nephritic syndrome as the main manifestation. It is characterized by acute onset, with patients experiencing hematuria, proteinuria, edema and hypertension, and may be accompanied by transient renal insufficiency.

2. Chronic glomerulonephritis: abbreviated as chronic nephritis, refers to proteinuria, hematuria, hypertension and edema as the basic clinical manifestations.

3. Acute interstitial nephritis: Also known as acute tubulointerstitial nephritis, it is a group of acute kidney diseases with renal interstitial inflammatory cell infiltration and renal tubular degeneration as the main pathological manifestations. The glomeruli and renal blood vessels are generally not involved or are relatively mildly involved. The clinical manifestation is acute renal damage.

4. Chronic interstitial nephritis: Clinical manifestations include varying degrees of renal tubular function damage and progressive chronic renal failure.

5. Hepatitis B virus-related nephritis: The clinical manifestations vary in severity, ranging from asymptomatic urine test abnormalities to nephrotic range proteinuria, which may be accompanied by varying degrees of hematuria.

6. Idiopathic acute tubulointerstitial nephritis: The renal pathology is manifested by interstitial edema and mononuclear cell infiltration, but the specific cause is difficult to determine clinically. Most of them are related to autoimmune diseases, and the cause of some patients can be finally determined through close monitoring and dynamic observation.
