Patient's question:
Recently, I've been experiencing frequent lower back pain, especially over the past two days when I also had a feverish symptom. After a thorough examination at the hospital, I found out that I have acute nephritis. Hello, what are the treatment methods for acute nephritis?Doctor's answer:
In clinical diagnosis, the treatment of acute nephritis primarily employs two measures: traditional Chinese medicine decoctions and Western medicine hormone therapy. Traditional Chinese medicine has a certain therapeutic effect on kidney diseases, but the medication cannot be effectively refined by the affected area, leading to slow or even ineffective results. However, Western medicine can achieve excellent therapeutic effects in a short period, helping patients alleviate clinical symptoms, but it has very strong side effects. Acute nephritis typically requires several days, or it may take several months, to heal on its own. The treatment period is relatively short. If it is chronic nephritis, the treatment period will be relatively longer. Patients with kidney diseases should enhance self-care, exercise regularly, and strengthen their disease resistance. They should also promptly treat upper respiratory infections and thoroughly eliminate infectious foci.
