The consequences of Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis are shockingly harmful

Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis is a type of nephritis caused by purpuric dermatitis. If the patient does not receive timely treatment, it may cause severe renal insufficiency or even uremia, so timely treatment is necessary after diagnosis.

1. Metabolic disorders: Hyponatremia and hypernatremia, hypokalemia or hypernatremia are all diseases caused by metabolic disorders caused by Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis. In addition, it also affects the metabolism of carbohydrates, lipids, and amino acids.

2. Multiple disorders: such as thyroid dysfunction, sexual dysfunction, growth retardation, etc.

3. Water metabolism disorder: patients are prone to polyuria, thirst, dry mucous membranes, and fatigue. In severe cases, it can cause high blood pressure, pulmonary edema, and even heart failure in patients.

4. Harm to bones: Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis can cause renal osteodystrophy, causing patients to suffer from bone pain and proximal muscle weakness. In severe cases, it can also lead to bone deformities and short stature.

Warm reminder: About 30% to 60% of cases have clinical manifestations of kidney damage, which usually occur within one month of onset, and are often manifested as microscopic hematuria (referring to the number of red blood cells in urine exceeding 5/high-power field of view) or a small amount of proteinuria. In fact, almost all children with Henoch-Schonlein purpura have changes in urinary enzymes and renal pathology, which is a common secondary glomerular disease in childhood. Fortunately, this disease tends to improve naturally, and the long-term prognosis is mostly good. The proportion of patients developing chronic renal failure is still relatively low. With proper treatment, it will generally heal as the skin purpura subsides.
