Why have chronic nephritis, dropsy

Often found after chronic nephritis with edema, but why will appear edema in patients with chronic nephritis?
Ordinary people think, the main function of the kidney is the discharge water, when the body appear edema phenomenon, especially in lower extremity edema, means may be suffering from kidney disease. Renal dysfunction, urinary tract stones, such as benign prostatic hyperplasia associated with kidney disease, may cause edema. But heart failure, cirrhosis of the liver, lower extremity varicose veins, thyroid dysfunction, lymphatic congestion, take drugs, pregnancy, birth control pills, etc., are also the common cause of body edema.
There are two kinds of kidney disease cause of edema, one for a serious recession, renal function can not be normal eduction body water and salt; A protein for the body, because kidney disease a lot from the eduction in the urine, resulting in decreased plasma protein, making water easy to accumulate in the body. Generally speaking, the kidney disease caused by edema, from the eyelids, face, upper limbs, lower limbs, back in bed and all possible, press the swelling of the skin with the hand, and will not automatically pop-up will sag.
Edema is one of the common symptoms of kidney disease, but when appear edema disease usually have a period of time, patients may appear, such as: dizziness, tiredness, systemic symptom such as insomnia, loss of appetite, and usually accompanied by urine bubble.
Cardiac edema when all kinds of right heart failure, heart attack, not successful due to venous blood back into the left ventricle, cause vein pressure and can make the fluid leaking into the tissue clearance, cause swelling, first appeared in the ankle, throughout the body.
If have not been able to stable condition after treatment of chronic nephritis, renal inherent cells in inflammatory reaction, cytokines, growth factors and a series of renal sexual factor under the action of the phenotypic changes, structure and the morphology change, normal secretion of synthesis of a large number of difficult degradation of extracellular matrix, extracellular matrix of a large number of sedimentary replacing the health nephron, glomerular sclerosis, renal tubular interstitial fibrosis gradually, renal vascular fibrosis, almost called accumulation of extracellular matrix, kidney excretion basic loss function, prevent moisture from eduction body outside, retention in the body, renal edema. Edema is common in the lower extremities, but first appeared in the eyelid and facial, then spread to the lower extremities and the whole body, accompanied by less urine or night urination, urine, etc.
Liver edema was mainly due to cirrhosis of the liver structure damage, the portal vein is blocked door higher static pressure caused by, but with malnutrition, liver failure, low plasma albumin also have relations, from the ankle swelling begin to spread and upward, but significant ascites in the most obvious, and little arms and face. Nutrition is not benign edema dystrophy reduce plasma albumin and appear edema, first appeared in the lower extremities and gradually upward and spread throughout the body. Before edema with malnutrition, absorption disorder or chronic wasting disease.
Edema disease is different, have different expression. Edema is divided into systemic edema and local edema. Systemic edema can be caused by the heart, liver, kidney disease; Edema for other reasons, such as standing for a long time, eating too salty, sit too long, mostly local edema, because of local tissue inflammation, allergies, lymphatic congestion, lead to the microvascular hydrostatic pressure rise, or tissue fluid can not flow back to the lymphatic vessels, cause of some parts of the face, upper limb, lower limb edema.
Chronic nephritis dropsy can be light to heavy, no one could see light person edema, weight gain (recessive edema) or early in the morning only slightly swollen eyelids, the person that weigh can whole body dropsy, apparently even with chest and abdominal cavity effusion, dozens of jins weight gain (severe edema).
