Acute glomerulonephritis affects men more often, medical statistics show. The disease usually develops after infection (sore throat, scarlet fever). Classic symptoms of acute glomerulonephritis are swelling, increased blood pressure, changes in the urine. However, in recent years, often marked only changes in urine - uretic syndrome. Characterized by the appearance of protein in the urine. Recognition of acute glomerulonephritis, without the presence of symptoms such as high blood pressure, swelling and visible to the eye changes in urine is difficult because patients complain only of a general weakness, increased fatigue, dull pain in the lumbar area.
However, when such symptoms that occurred after they spent infectious diseases, easier to diagnose the presence of acute glomerulonephritis. The situation can be clarified by clinical analysis of urine. Occurrence in younger patients edema, high blood pressure, headache - significantly strengthens suspected acute glomerulonephritis. Picture of acute glomerulonephritis may occur with shortness of breath, palpitation, increased thirst, nausea, vomiting. The amount of individual urine is reduced. In the blood can increase the nitrogen content of toxins. Patients suffering from acute glomerulonephritis, are subject to compulsory hospitalization and treatment in hospital. Implementation of treatment at home or samolechenieto is completely unacceptable, since there is a risk of serious complications threatening the life of the patient.
