How long can you live with stage II membranous nephropathy?

Many people with kidney diseases may need a kidney transplant. If they do not have certain economic conditions and a suitable kidney source, they can only wait for death to come, because kidney diseases are relatively serious. If the patient's condition has reached the stage of stage II membranous nephropathy, they must insist on cooperating with the doctor's treatment, otherwise it is likely to cause uremia. So how long can patients with stage II membranous nephropathy live?

How long can you live with stage II membranous nephropathy?

First, after suffering from kidney disease, you must persist in treatment. Generally, the disease progresses slowly. Generally, it will gradually worsen and develop into uremia a few years or even more than ten years after the onset of the disease, which is life-threatening. Therefore, it can be said that effective control and treatment of chronic nephritis in the early stages determines how long a patient with chronic nephritis can survive.

Second, after suffering from kidney disease, there is generally no need to worry about life, and one can be just like a healthy person. Take the most serious case, where both kidneys have completely lost their function. Replacement treatments such as dialysis or kidney transplantation can greatly extend the patient's life. Some patients can undergo dialysis for decades. So don't worry too much about this problem and treat it well.

Third, the most serious thing about kidney disease is its complications. If it is well controlled, it generally does not affect life expectancy. If it is not well controlled, it is hard to say how long it will last with repeated recurrences. Generally speaking, kidney disease is milder than chronic nephritis. A considerable proportion of chronic nephritis will turn into renal failure, usually in 2 to 20 years. For patients with nephrotic syndrome, there will be no problem with active treatment.

Precautions

After we discover we have kidney disease, we often lose confidence in our bodies, but we need to persist in treatment. When we find that kidney function is slowly declining, in addition to drug treatment, doctors usually recommend that patients reduce protein intake to reduce the burden on the kidneys and delay the time to end-stage renal disease. In addition to restricting protein, doctors will also choose to restrict sodium, phosphorus or water in the diet depending on the condition of the disease.
