How is acute rheumatic fever kidney damage caused?

Patient's question:

My husband developed acute rheumatic fever kidney damage, which is a short-term, non-progressive immune-related harm caused by rheumatic fever, with relatively mild pathological changes in both kidneys. Hello, how did this acute kidney damage occur? Is it due to dietary neglect?

Doctor's answer:

Multiple occurrences of kidney damage are primarily due to certain streptococcal infections causing recurring symptoms. It is recommended to conduct a thorough examination of urine routine and renal function to assess the specific severity of the damage. If rheumatic fever has not been fully recovered, it is advised to flexibly use some penicillin-class antimicrobial drugs for maintenance treatment, while also implementing symptomatic treatment based on the results of the urine routine and renal function tests.
