Women have higher incidence of suffering from chronic nephritis. Well then,
do you know the symptoms of women nephritis patients?
Generally speaking the symptoms and signs of weakened kidneys are thirsty,
gloomy complexion, urinary frequency, urinary urgency, tiredness and pains in
legs and back and in serious conditions there will be tinnitus, hematuria,
blurred visions, etc.
Women usually have lower community compared with men and they are more
susceptible to some auto-immune diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus,
dermatomyositis, etc. And when the immune system is damages there will
definitely be kidney damages.
Another reason is that the urinary tract in women is wider and straighter
and it has direct connection with the bladder, so it is easy to catch infections
and they are easy to have cystitis and urethritris. If these chronic diseases
are not treated properly or timely, they will cause inflammations and infections
in the kidneys, leading to chronic nephritis. That is why women have higher
incidence of chronic nephritis than men.
Take lupus nephritis for example. It mainly occurs to women of childbearing
ages (20-40). It is characterized by large amounts of auto-immune complexes in
the plasma and many systems and organs will be involved. The most common
systemic symptoms are fever, arthritis and skin mucosa damages. Liver, heart,
central nervous system and hemopoietic organs will be affected. More than 1/3
patients will have multiple serositis (pleura and pericardium).
Besides these symptoms in the whole body, there are many symptoms and signs
of kidney damages such as massive proteinuria, blood in urine and edema.
Hypertension, reduced urine output and hypoalbuminemia are the main reasons of
edema.
