Many patients with Chronic Nephritis lose their patience for treatment. However, experts alert that patients should pay extra care for it otherwise it may gradually develop into renal failure which can shorten people’s life span.
Why do patients ignore chronic nephritis treatment?
In clinic, the common symptoms of chronic nephritis are protein in urine, blood in urine, swelling, high blood pressure and very slow loss of kidney function. For all of these symptoms are slight, most people cannot find it in the early stage. Even if they fortunately find it timely, they have no idea about how serious their disease is. Because all the symptoms above do not bring pain, itching or other discomfort to patients and their normal work and life are not affected by the disease.
What is more, patients are always told that chronic nephritis is not severe and just need monitor. And their doctors have no patience to explain their exact illness condition and the process or course of chronic nephritis. “It does not matter.” “All is well.” and other comfortable sayings may be the “information” patients get.
