Nowadays, the high incidence of chronic kidney disease affects the quality of life of patients' families. Some of these patients are almost asymptomatic and require only a few visits to the hospital occasionally. For some patients, symptoms are obvious, so they have to go to the hospital for a period of time every year. In severe cases, the illness can endanger life.
Patients’ ignorance of their pathological types is an important reason for the aggravation of the disease. Today, I will analyze the ten most common types of kidney disease so that patients can establish the most basic understanding of their own disease.
IgA Nephropathy (Berger’s Disease)
It is a worldwide glomerulonephritis. The milder the symptoms at onset, the better the follow-up treatment effect, and pay attention to the control of proteinuria and hypertension during the treatment process.
Membranous Nephropathy
First-stage membranous nephropathy is likely to be cured. If patients are not sensitive to hormone therapy, steroids + immunosuppressant pulse therapy or Chinese medicine treatment can be considered.
Minimal change disease
Some may be completely cured. Patients are highly sensitive to hormones, but get often relapses after discontinuation. It is recommended to add adjuvant therapy and slowly reduce the medication.
Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)
The diagnosis of this disease is complex and relatively difficult to treat, and active symptomatic treatment is particularly important.
Chronic glomerulonephritis
The medical condition of most patients are relatively mild, and treatment can be followed to prevent drastic aggravation. Patients with long-term large amount of hematuria need to pay special attention.

Patients with hypertension usually does not have kidney disease until 5 to 10 years later. The key to control the condition is to control blood pressure, among which ACEI and ARB are the first choice drugs for treating hypertension nephropathy.
Polycystic kidney disease (PKD)
