Inflammation of the kidney: treatment, diagnosis, causes

Inflammation of the kidney, the treatment of which can be difficult, refers to pathology. As a rule, the cause is caused by pathogens - various pathogens. The result of their impact on the body is that the inflammatory process begins, affecting the urinary tract and the kidneys themselves.
The nature of the inflammation of the kidneys can be primary or secondary. It is also worth noting that not only two kidneys can inflame themselves, but only one.

Inflammation of the kidney, the treatment of which will be discussed in this article, is due to pathogens( this has already been mentioned above).The most common of these are E. coli, Staphylococcus, Proteus, and others. They all enter the kidney tissue through the blood. They can also get through the genitourinary system( through the ureter).
This disease is common and can cause a fair amount of trouble. Especially undesirable is inflammation of the kidneys during pregnancy.

How the development of inflammation of the kidneys occurs

The disease develops quite quickly. First of all, it affects the connective tissue, the pelvis of the kidneys, the fatty layer that is located around the kidneys. In the event that the affected are just two kidneys, the pathology can easily appear in each of these organs. The development of it will pass in its own way, completely regardless of how it occurs in the second kidney.

In the event that the inflammation of the kidneys has become chronic, the disease will worsen more and more after each attack. Affected tissues will be more and more. It is important to note that the inflammatory process will end not with the normalization of the functions and structure of the connective tissue, but with nothing else than its scarring. The cause of the appearance of scars is the suppression of the active function of the organ, as well as the constant compression of the renal tissue.

The inflammatory process itself has two varieties:
- serous;
- purulent.
In the first case, the size increases not only the kidney itself, but also the surrounding fatty layer. Untimely diagnosis can lead to purulent pioinfrita.

Diagnosis of kidney inflammation
Diagnostics must be performed on the basis of a blood and urine test. They are enough to draw conclusions about the state of the kidneys.
Urinalysis consists in testing bacteriological culture on favorable media. The aim is to identify the pathogen, as well as how it is susceptible to various kinds of medical( antibiotic) drugs. A blood test for biochemistry makes it possible to understand how the kidneys function.

It is also very important to establish the presence of obstructions for the flow of urine. This can be done with the help of X-ray and ultrasound equipment.

Inflammation of the kidney: treatment of
Treatment of chronic pathologies, as well as inflammation of the kidneys of an acute nature should be based on the intake of antibiotics. To maintain immunity, various stimulating agents can be used.
Inflammation of the kidney, whose treatment is difficult, can be eliminated by injecting solutions intravenously. These solutions remove from the body the accumulated products of the metabolic process. The best drugs: "Tsifran", "Tarivid", "Nolitsin", "Abaktal."

In some cases, surgical intervention can not be avoided. It is aimed at opening an abscess. As a rule, after removal of inflammation, the patency of the urinary tract is normalized.

It is difficult to treat chronic inflammation. This is a complex process that requires an integrated approach. Do not try to eliminate inflammation of the kidneys yourself. Medicines can be prescribed only by a doctor. There are many folk remedies that can help in this situation, but you can not trust them completely.
