Chronic Nephritis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Chronic nephritis is a prolonged inflammation of the kidneys that, over time, can affect their ability to filter the blood and remove waste from the body.
Common symptoms: in its early stages it may cause no discomfort; later on, swelling in the legs or face, changes in the urine, high blood pressure, and tiredness may appear.
When should you see a doctor? A checkup is a good idea when there is foamy or bloody urine, persistent swelling, or a family history of kidney disease.
Which specialist treats it? The nephrologist is the one who studies and follows up on kidney function; in children, the pediatric nephrologist is the appropriate one, and the urologist may step in depending on the case. If you notice signs related to the kidneys, scheduling an evaluation with one of these professionals is the most appropriate thing to do.
