Loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and joint pain are also common. About 50% of people have a flu-like illness in the month before kidney failure develops. These people have edema and usually produce very little urine. [msdmanuals.com]

Treatment
The conventional treatments and latest treatments for chronic nephritis will be introduced in the following content. Conservative treatment *A balanced diet plays a vital role in managing chronic nephritis. [sjzkidneyhospital.com]
Treatment Treatment for chronic nephritis depends on the type and cause of the condition. It aims at reducing inflammation, relieving the symptoms and repairing the damaged kidney tissues, as well as improving kidney function. [kidneyservicechina.com]
Patient : what treatments help improve kidney function with no relapse? Doctor : the systematic treatment includes: Micro-Chinese Medicine Osmotherapy, Medicated bath, Foot baht, Immunotherapy, Toxins-Removing Treatments, Acupuncture, etc. [tongshantanghospital.com]
It is known across India for its expertise in the treatment of the most complex kidney related diseases. The institute is a pioneer in renal transplantation in both live and cadaveric donor programs. [carehospitals.com]
RESULT: A one-year treatment showed obvious reduction of proteinuria in patients with chronic nephritis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
Prognosis The prognosis of chronic nephritis varies from individual to individual as it is affected by many factors. Factors which may affect the prognosis include: Pathological types 1. [sjzkidneyhospital.com]
There will be a decrease in GFR • Prognosis varies depending upon the specific cause, but spontaneous recovery generally occurs after the acute illness Chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN) Can occur in a patient without a previous history or known onset • [quizlet.com]
The prognosis also depends on the cause, the person's age, and any other diseases the person might have. When the cause is unknown or the person is older, the prognosis is worse. [msdmanuals.com]
These data show that antihypertensive therapy for CGN with hypertension has an important effect on prognosis. Propranolol was given to 10 hypertensive patients with CGN and hypotensive effect on renal function was observed. [jstage.jst.go.jp]
Acute interstitial nephritis generally has a good prognosis. [amboss.com]
Etiology
The etiology for chronic nephritis, chronic nephritis experts said: clear etiology has not been confirmed, but many speculate and infection especially viral infection. [kidneyhealthy.com]
Pathogenesis Etiology Often unknown etiology. Leptospirosis Leptospira icterohemorrhagiae or canine adenovirus-1 Canine adenovirus type 1 may play a possible role but are probably rare. [vetstream.com]
Few glomeruli may still present changes which permit to discern the etiology of chronic glomerulonephritis. [pathologyatlas.ro]
Alcoholism and syphilis, undoubtedly, are forces that must be considered as etiological factors. [henriettes-herb.com]
Our experience also suggests that another etiologically separate form of chronic nephritis can be histologically distinguished from the nonspecific chronic nephritides. [pediatrics.aappublications.org]

Pathophysiology Reduction in nephron mass from the initial injury reduces the GFR. This reduction leads to hypertrophy and hyperfiltration of the remaining nephrons and to the initiation of intraglomerular hypertension. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Prevention
Prevention To avoid developing chronic nephritis, the best preventive measure is to control the triggering factors. [sjzkidneyhospital.com]
There is no known way to prevent chronic glomerulonephritis. [healthcommunities.com]
Prevention Although it is not always possible to prevent nephritis, certain lifestyle practices can reduce the risk for many people. [medicalnewstoday.com]
Can glomerulonephritis be prevented? Not until more is known about its causes. However, good hygiene, practicing “safe sex” and avoiding IV drugs are helpful in preventing viral infections such as HIV and hepatitis, which could lead to this illness. [kidney.org]
These drugs, which are related to the ones used to treat cancer or prevent the rejection of transplanted organs, work by suppressing immune system activity that damages the kidneys. [webmd.com]
