What are the types of kidney diseases?

Nephropathy is a general term for all kidney diseases. In fact, there are many kinds of kidney diseases. I hope our introduction below can help you! The symptoms of nephropathy can be manifested as fatigue, soreness of waist and knees, hypertension, proteinuria, eyelid edema, anemia, itchy skin, nausea and vomiting, electrolyte disorder, acidosis, elevated serum creatinine and urea nitrogen, etc. In the later stage of uremia, the five internal organs may be involved, and even pericardial effusion and pleural effusion may occur, leading to cardiopulmonary renal failure. Moreover, the disease is easy to be misdiagnosed and mistreated, and it is more difficult to cure. There are many kinds of nephropathy, such as acute and chronic glomerulonephritis, occult nephritis, henoch-schonlein purpura, pyelonephritis, etc., as well as various nephropathy, such as IgA nephropathy, membranous nephropathy, renal hypertension, lupus nephritis, gouty kidney, diabetic nephropathy, nephrotic syndrome, hydronephrosis, renal cyst, congenital polycystic kidney, etc. All can develop uremia due to late renal failure. This disease belongs to the category of stranguria, thirst quenching, fatigue, swelling, stagnation and stagnation in traditional Chinese medicine. Generally speaking, Chinese medicine should be superior to western medicine in treating nephropathy. Because hormone therapy is commonly used in western medicine to treat nephritis, nephropathy and nephrotic syndrome, but hormone has strong concealment to the condition, obvious side effects and easy recurrence. Besides dialysis and kidney transplantation, there is still a lack of ideal treatment for uremia due to renal failure. Moreover, dialysis can only maintain life, treat the symptoms rather than the root cause, and is prone to dependence. Moreover, the success rate of kidney transplantation is low, and the cost is not affordable for ordinary people.
