Patient's question:
I heard that my friend is suffering greatly from chronic nephritis and it hasn't improved. His health is getting worse and worse. I also have chronic nephritis, and I'm starting to worry about how long chronic nephritis patients can live? Is it serious?Doctor's answer:
Chronic nephritis is a chronic disease. In some cases, if the condition is well-controlled, patients can live for many years. If the patient's condition continues to worsen, there is no specific definite time frame. Therefore, the patient's control over the disease is very important. The goal of treating chronic nephritis is to prevent or slow down the further deterioration of kidney function, stabilize or alleviate clinical symptoms, control hypertension, and prevent and treat serious complications.
