What are the differences between Nephritis and Uremia

Chronic nephritis is the early stage of uremia. If chronic nephritis can not be treated reasonably, it will progress into renal failure and even uremia at last. Then, what are the difference between nephritis and uremia?

According to the original causes, nephritis can be divided into primary glomerulonephritis and secondary glomerulonephritis. According to the time, nephritis is divided into acute glomerulonephritis and chronic nephritis, also known as chronic glomerulonephritis. Acute nephritis, chronic nephritis, nephrotic syndrome and iga glomerulonephritis belong to primary nephritis; secondary glomerulonephritis includes purpura nephritis, lupus nephritis, diabetic nephropathy and hypertensive nephropathy.

Uremia is caused by renal failure. And the causes of renal failure are various reasons forming into nephritis, such as acute glomerulonephritis, interstitial nephritis, diabetic nephropathy, polycystic kidney disease and severe high blood pressure. Severe hypertension can cause renal arteriolar sclerosis, renal blood flow reduction, renal function damage, lower urinary tract obstruction.

Because renal corpuscle is damaged, the kidneys of nephritis patients suffer from edema, high blood pressure and proteinuria. Nephritis is the most common disease among kidney diseases.

Uremia actually refers to the human body not be able to produce urine through the kidneys, the metabolic waste and excess moisture can not be excreted from the body, which causes poisoning.

Nephritis and uremia are two different things. But they can be said to the two different stages of a disease. Nephritis can not surely develop into uremia. Most nephritis patients can be cured after effective treatment .
