1. Edema. In the whole course of the disease, most patients will appear to have different degree of edema, and many patients start with edema. Patients with mild edema only show edema on eyelid, faces after getting up in the morning, but it can subside after a few hours. But if you want to tell it from the edema caused by lack of sleep or staying up late, you should do a urine test to make sure whether it is nephritis.
2. Hypertension. Some patients go to see doctor because of hypertension, and urine test is the only necessary means to find out nephritis. For patients with chronic nephritis, hypertension will occur sooner or later. The increasing of blood pressure can be either persistent or intermittent, and it usually implies that the lesions have reached a certain degree. What’s more, the degree of blood pressure is closely associated with prognosis, generally the higher your blood pressure is, the longer it lasts, the more dangerous you will be and the worse of the prognosis.
3. The abnormal urine test. Chronic kidney disease patients’urine test will be surely abnormal, including the abnormally reasonable amount of urine and abnormal microscopic examination.The urine volume of the patients with edema will be reduced, and the more serious of the edema,the more urine he will reduced.Generally, if the patients do not have edema, his urine volume will be normal
4. Renal insufficiency. Chronic nephritis patients will have the symptoms of dizziness, insomnia and mental fatigue. Moreover, when patients’ renal function decreases, they will feel less of appetite, fatigue resistance, different degrees of anemia and other symptoms.
Above symptoms can either come together or alone, if patients can not have them under control, they are very likely to develop renal failure or even uremia. So patients should pay more attention to symptoms in the daily life.
