Chronic pyelonephritis and renal failure, treatment, prevention

Chronic pyelonephritis most often occurs in childhood and is associated with infectious kidney disease. Girls are especially vulnerable to him.

From the outset, the disease can occur without any kind of acute manifestations. Even an increase in temperature is observed in only 20% of patients. The disease declares itself constant blunt pain in the lumbar region on the side of the affected kidney. Many patients have high blood pressure. The diagnosis helps to clarify the diagnosis: in the urine sediment a large number of leukocytes is determined.

In most cases, chronic pyelonephritis develops kidney failure, the treatment of which is rather difficult and requires an individual approach. Its manifestations are: pallor and dryness of the skin, formation of bruises, itching. Often observed lethargy, decreased concentration, drowsiness or insomnia; Periodic nausea and vomiting; Increased susceptibility to infections; anemia; Increased blood pressure, nosebleeds; Losing weight. In women, kidney failure, the treatment of which for a long time does not bring positive results, can cause a violation of the menstrual cycle and cause the impossibility of bearing pregnancy.

So what is kidney failure? This pathology develops as a result of Chronic kidney disease. The defeat of the organ leads to the death of a large number of nephrons (functional units of the kidney), and the kidneys lose their excretory function. As a result, the urinary system becomes unable to maintain the homeostasis of the internal environment of the body.

It is important to note: since the consequence of chronic pyelonephritis is renal failure - it is not treated. It is necessary to make efforts to cure the disease, against which it developed.

Treatment and prevention of chronic pyelonephritis is carried out for years. It should be noted that the general, universal for all patients scheme for the treatment of this disease does not exist. It is developed strictly individually. However, in many cases, treatment with the appointment of nitrofurans and nalidixic acid begins , alternating alternately. Also used antibiotics, cranberry extract.

If a person has a history of chronic kidney disease and kidney failure - the diet should be adjusted without fail. It is recommended to reduce the amount of proteins consumed, as during their splitting, many nitrogenous slags are formed, which are excreted by the kidneys. In this case, the daily diet should remain quite high in calories, despite the decrease in protein. It is recommended to eat eggs, and to exclude fish and meat. Fats and carbohydrates are recommended in the form of vegetable oil, fruits and vegetables, jam and bee products.

If a person suffering from chronic kidney disease has repeated episodes of infectious diseases, then a course of antibiotic therapy should be conducted.

To prevent the development of a severe syndrome, such as renal failure, treatment and prevention of diseases of the urinary system should be carried out on time, preventing the development of subsequent complications.
