How does the disease manifest itself?
To begin with, it must be said that, depending on the characteristics of the clinical course and the stages of the disorder, it is customary to isolate acute, chronic and purulent forms. Each of these forms of kidney disease, pyelonephritis, is characterized by its symptoms, most of which are similar.
So, with an acute form of disorder, a change in the quality and color of the secreted urine is observed: it acquires a reddish hue and becomes cloudy. Thus there is a sharp fetid smell. At the same time, dull, but sometimes acute pains in the lumbar region are noted, which can be given to the groin area. However, the pain is sharply increased when the torso is tilted forward.
Worse and overall health: patients complain of nausea, vomiting, there is a rise in body temperature, which often rises quite suddenly, against the backdrop of recent well-being.
It is customary to isolate the latent flow of the chronic form of pyelonephritis (sudden body temperature rises, periodic deterioration of well-being) and recurrent (in general urine disorders, which eventually can develop into renal failure, hypertension, anemia).
Purulent form of the disorder is characterized by a sharp increase in the content of leukocytes in the urine, which leads to the appearance of pus.
What are the features of treatment of kidney pyelonephritis?
It is worth noting that the therapeutic process of this violation is quite long and involves a comprehensive approach. The main areas of treatment of the disease are:
- diet compliance;
- drug treatment;
- surgical intervention.
Particular attention in kidney pyelonephritis doctors remove the diet, which patients must strictly observe. So, in the daily diet increase the content of fresh fruits and vegetables. Separately it is necessary to say about the volume of liquids being drunk daily, which should be about 2.5-3 liters. In this case, completely excluded from the diet fried, spicy, fatty foods.
The basis of drug therapy for kidney pyelonephritis is antibiotics. They take their courses, the duration of each of which is not less than 10 days. Among such medicines it is necessary to note such as: Ceftriaxone, Cefazoline, Amoxicillin, Cilastin, Amoxicillin, Amoxiclav, Augmentin. Selection of a medication is carried out taking into account the pathogen that caused the disorder, which is established after the bacterial culture of urine.
Surgical treatment is used when conservative therapy is ineffective and the patient's general condition worsens. Mandatory procedure is carried out with a purulent form of disorder, - apoplexy of the kidneys.
Treatment of kidney pyelonephritis with folk remedies
Such therapy must necessarily be agreed with the doctor. The most effective recipes are:
Mix 50 grams of bearberry, marsh ale, flax seed, licorice root, kidney tea, birch buds. For 500 ml of water take 3 teaspoons of the mixture, boil for 5 minutes, strain and drink 100 ml for half an hour before meals 3 times a day. - 200 g of oats are boiled in 1 liter of milk until the original volume is reduced by half.
