Many patients with nephritis ask if it can be cured. Acute glomerulonephritis in adolescents can usually be cured within one to two months and generally does not develop into chronic nephritis. Nephritis is curable, but it's crucial to seek timely treatment upon noticing symptoms to prevent the condition from worsening, which can be dangerous for the body. Therefore, patients must pay attention to these points and seek effective treatment at a hospital. Chronic nephritis is a chronic, progressive disease, and currently, there is no particularly effective treatment to completely cure it.
In most cases, acute glomerulonephritis has a good prognosis and can be cured. Chronic nephritis, however, is difficult to cure completely; only clinical remission is possible. It is a disease prone to relapse. While chronic nephritis progresses slowly, if it is not detected early enough, or if patients ignore the condition and do not actively seek treatment, allowing it to worsen and rapidly progress to uremia, it can easily lead to death. Patients diagnosed with chronic nephritis should promptly receive standardized treatment to prevent progression to uremia, rapidly improve kidney function, achieve clinical remission, and lead a normal life.
Patients with chronic nephritis should closely monitor their treatment, but should not blindly abandon measures, because many hospitals, especially general hospitals, currently offer relatively limited and ineffective treatments for chronic nephritis, or rely solely on hormone therapy. This favorable condition can be disrupted once hormone levels are depleted, or the condition can relapse when predisposing factors occur; this approach only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. Currently, specialized nephrology hospitals in China have begun to employ combined treatments using multiple methods, achieving excellent therapeutic results.
For patients with acute nephritis, remember to have regular monthly checkups. This will help your doctor analyze your condition and reduce the amount of medication you need. Good health is the foundation of everything. Be sure to take your medication on time and get enough rest to maintain a stable and better quality of life.
