After 2-3 years or 20-30 years of illness, renal failure will eventually occur. Etiology and pathogenesis: The cause is unclear, and its pathogenesis is similar to that of acute nephritis, which is an autoimmune reaction process. However, the mechanism leading to the chronic process is still unclear, and it may be related to certain immune function defects in the body. Immune dysfunction can reduce the body's ability to resist infection, leading to repeated invasions by microorganisms; the body cannot produce sufficient antibodies to eliminate pathogenic substances (antigens), causing the antigens to persist in the body and form immune complexes that are deposited in renal tissue, resulting in a chronic inflammatory process.

Second, in addition, non-immune-mediated renal damage may also play an important role in the occurrence and development of chronic nephritis, such as the compensatory increase in serum perfusion pressure of healthy renal units, increased transmembrane pressure and filtration pressure of glomerular capillary loops, all of which can lead to glomerular sclerosis. Long-term hypertension during the course of the disease can lead to stenosis and occlusion of renal arterioles and accelerate glomerular sclerosis.
