Patient's question:
I have chronic nephritis, which was diagnosed after a thorough examination at the hospital last year. After medication, the occult blood level is 2, while it was 1 before medication. Is this considered serious? Is active treatment necessary? How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
According to your description, diagnosing nephritis requires the implementation of multiple careful examinations, as different types of nephritis exhibit varying symptoms. First, a routine urine test should be conducted, which may repeatedly show traces of blood in urine, protein in urine, and white blood cells in urine. Next, liver and kidney function tests should be performed, revealing conditions such as decreased creatinine, decreased uric acid, decreased urea, and reduced protein levels. Additionally, ultrasound examinations may be necessary, and in some cases, a biopsy may be performed.
