Two Misunderstandings of Chronic Kidney Disease Patients



Chronic kidney disease is a common disease. Most people know something about kidney disease. But there are some misunderstanding about kidney disease. These misunderstanding may influence the treatment and recovery of kidney disease.

Chronic nephritis has a character of occult, because many people have a deviation on understanding. Even when the patient is seriously ill, there may not have any symptoms and patients look like normal people on the surface. If the remedial work well done, before the find of chronic kidney disease, uremia can be avoided. A lot of people have misunderstandings on chronic kidney disease.
1. Chronic kidney disease derives from acute chronic kidney disease. This view is wrong. Chronic glomerulonephritis is glomerular diseases with a set of multiple causes, by all sorts of bacteria, virus or parasite infection, caused by the mechanism of immune and inflammatory medium factor and non immune mechanism. Most patients have no clear relationship with streptococcus infection. According to statistics, only 15% ~ 20% of patients are transformed from acute glomerulonephritis. Therefore, when they are very confusedfind when find out kidney disease. When did you have this disease? Here, many people can not distinguish the acute nephritis and chronic glomerulonephritis. In simple terms, there is a link between them, but it is not a one-to-one contact. Not each acute nephritis patients would become chronic nephritis, is not every patient of chronic nephritis with acute nephritis.
2. Young people can not catch the chronic kidney disease. In the process of treatment of kidney diseases, a lot of people said that how so young people would get kidney disease? Actually, the onset of uremia is concentrated in young adults. If reviewing the kidney disease history, we may find that a lot of people suffering from chronic kidney disease when very young. Many people check out when at the uremia period and can't know exactly when suffering from the disease of chronic kidney disease. So there is no very accurate statistics suggests specific onset age of chronic kidney disease. But I want to remind everyone's that chronic kidney disease can occur at any age, and onset age of most patients is very young. The development from kidney disease to uremia, if not treated, may be as long as a few years to more than ten years.
Occult chronic nephritis have occult character, along with many cognitive deviation, while the "invisible killer" step by step in erosion of the patient's kidneys. But kidney has strong compensatory function. Even when the patient is seriously ill, there also have no symptoms and looks like the normal people on the surface. Actually, compensated and decompensated is as the will-going burst dam and the already burst dam. The former seems all is ok, but how a disaster will come. Before "burst", if the remedial work well done, is likely to avoid uremia, or can at least to delay it.
These two are the common misunderstanding of chronic kidney disease. These are very important to the prevention of kidney disease or the treatment of kidney disease.
