What are the early symptoms of nephritis in women?

Infection: Acute glomerulonephritis and acute exacerbations in patients with chronic glomerulonephritis are often associated with infections such as pharyngitis, tonsillitis, upper respiratory tract and skin. Therefore, urine routine should be checked when suffering from the above infectious diseases.

Edema: Although patients with glomerulonephritis lack specific symptoms, they often experience fatigue, weakness, low back pain, edema of the eyelids, face, and ankles, increased foam in the urine, and abnormal urine color in the early stages. Therefore, when these symptoms occur, you should go to the hospital for a urine routine test.

Hypertension: About 1/3 of patients with glomerulonephritis will experience high blood pressure, which may manifest as headaches, memory loss, poor sleep, etc. Patients who seek medical attention due to the above-mentioned early symptoms of female nephritis and are found to have high blood pressure must have a routine urine test, especially young patients.

Hematuria: Under normal circumstances, blood cannot be seen in the urine with the naked eye, and there are no red blood cells under a microscope. If there is hematuria with the naked eye, it means that there are a lot of red blood cells in the urine. However, this does not mean that red urine means hematuria, and of course, it does not necessarily mean nephritis. In addition, lesbians should pay attention to whether their hematuria is caused by menstruation, so urine tests should be done away from the menstrual period.

Changes in urine volume: In the early stages, patients with chronic renal failure may only experience an increase in the frequency and volume of nocturnal urination. If a healthy person does not drink a lot of water before going to bed, he should not urinate or only urinate once after sleeping at night. If he often urinates more than twice at night, he should go to the hospital to check his urine routine and kidney function.

Anemia: Patients with moderate or severe chronic renal insufficiency often have anemia, with symptoms such as fatigue, dizziness, and pale complexion. If patients with anemia exclude blood system diseases, attention should be paid to whether they have chronic renal insufficiency.
