What Is Nephritis?
5. Who’s At Risk
Anybody can develop nephritis, but some people are at a much higher risk than others are. These include people for whom there is a history of kidney problems in their family. This can include infections and different types of infections of the kidney and of the urinary tract.
People with a weakened immune system are also at a higher risk because they are less able to resist infections. A weakened immune system can happen for a number of reasons, including some medical conditions, and the use of some medications. People that regularly use pain killers and/or antibiotics are also at a higher risk, as are people that have recently had on operation on their urinary system.
