Patient's question:
Recently, I felt that my kidneys weren't doing well, so I went to the hospital. After a thorough examination at the hospital, it was discovered that I had nephritis, but the condition was mild and I didn't need to be hospitalized for treatment. Hello, what fruits should I avoid with nephritis?Doctor's answer:
The pathological changes in acute glomerulonephritis include a reduction in kidney volume compared to normal, with inflammation primarily affecting the glomeruli. The pathological type is fibrillary capillary glomerulonephritis. Under light microscopy, diffuse glomerular inflammation is evident in glomerulonephritis, primarily endothelial cell and mesangial cell proliferation. During the acute phase, neutrophils and mononuclear cells may infiltrate. When inflammation is severe, cell proliferation and infiltrating cells can constrict the capillary loops, narrowing the capillary lumen and even causing obstruction, damaging the glomerular filtration membrane. This may lead to recurrent hematuria, proteinuria, and tubular urine. Some suggest that patients should avoid eating watermelon. Watermelon contains a high amount of water, so friends who need to control water intake can only "look at the ocean in despair" regarding watermelon.
