Ingabe uzwa ukuvuvukala okungachazeki emilenzeni yakho, emaqakaleni, ezandleni, noma ebusweni? Uke waphawula ukuthi umchamo wakho ubukeka unegwebu? Lokhu kungaba izimpawu zenkinga ngezinso zakho, esinye sezitho ezibaluleke kakhulu emzimbeni wakho. Namuhla, sixoxa ngesimo esithinta izinso—okungakhulunywa ngaso kakhulu, kodwa okubalulekile ukusiqonda: i-Glomerulosclerosis.
Ngamagama alula, iyini i-Glomerulosclerosis?
Izinso zakho ezimbili zisebenza njengezihlungi ezisebenza kahle kakhulu. Zihlanza igazi lakho ngokususa ukungcola bese zikuguqula libe umchamo. Le nqubo yokuhlunga yenzeka ngezakhiwo ezincane nezithambile ngaphakathi kwezinso zakho ezibizwa ngokuthi i-glomeruli .
I-Glomerulosclerosis ibhekisela ekuqineni noma ekuqineni kwalezi zinhlayiya ezincane zokuhlunga. Njengesibazi esakheka ngemva kokulimala kwesikhumba, lezi zihlungi zakha izicubu zesibazi uma zonakele, okuzivimbela ukuthi zingasebenzi kahle.
Ngenxa yalokho, amaprotheni abalulekile okufanele ahlale egazini lakho ayavuza ngesihlungi esonakele bese elahleka emchameni wakho. Ngokwezokwelapha, lesi simo saziwa ngokuthi 'i-Proteinuria' ( iphrotheni emchameni ).
Lesi simo singathinta noma ubani, kungakhathaliseki ubudala, yize sivame kakhulu kwabesilisa.
Yini Ebangela Lesi Simo?
Ngezinye izikhathi asikho isizathu esibonakalayo se-Glomerulosclerosis. Kodwa-ke, ngokuvamile sibangelwa ezinye izimo zezokwelapha eziyisisekelo.
Uhlobo oluvamile yi-`FSGS` (Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis). Lokhu kusho ukuthi umonakalo awufani; uthinta izindawo ezithile kuphela (Focal), futhi ngaphakathi kwalezo zindawo, ingxenye eyodwa kuphela yesihlungi ngasinye enesibazi (Segmental).
Izici ezivamile ezibangela i-FSGS kanye ne-Glomerulosclerosis ejwayelekile zifaka:
- Isifo Sikashukela: Ushukela wegazi ongalawulwa uyingozi enkulu empilweni yezinso.
- Ukukhuluphala ngokweqile : Isisindo somzimba esiningi sibeka ingcindezi enkulu ezinso.
- Ukutheleleka nge-HIV : Leli gciwane lingalimaza ngqo amangqamuzana ezinso.
- Izifo ezizenzakalelayo njenge-Lupus: Lezi zimo zibangela ukuthi amasosha omzimba wakho ahlasele izinso zakho ngephutha.
- Isifo se-Sickle cell: Isifo sofuzo esingaphazamisa ukusebenza kwezinso.
- I-Reflux nephropathy: Isimo lapho umchamo ugeleza usuka kwesinye uye ezinso, okubangela umonakalo.
- I-Glomerulonephritis: Ukuvuvukala kwe-glomeruli.
- Imithi ethile kanye nobuthi: Ukuchayeka ezintweni eziyingozi ezinso.
Ziyini Izimpawu?
Ezigabeni zokuqala, ungase ungabi nazimpawu ezicacile , yingakho ngokuvamile kungabonakali. Njengoba kuqhubeka, ungase uqaphele okulandelayo:
| Isibonakaliso | Incazelo |
|---|---|
| Ukuvuvukala (i-Edema) | Ukugcinwa koketshezi kwenzeka ngoba izinso azikwazi ukuhlunga kahle. Ungase uqaphele ukuvuvukala emilenzeni yakho, emaqakaleni, ezandleni, esiswini, noma eduze kwamehlo . |
| Izinguquko Zomchamo | Ngenxa yokulahlekelwa amaprotheni, umchamo wakho ungase ubonakale unamagwebu noma unamaqhubu . |
| Umfutho Wegazi Ophakeme | Ukulimala kwezinso kuvame ukuholela ekucindezelekeni kwegazi, okungaba nzima ukukulawula. |
| I-Cholesterol Ephezulu | Njengoba amazinga amaprotheni ehla egazini, isibindi siphinde sikhiqize i-cholesterol eyengeziwe. |
Lesi simo sivame ukutholakala ngesikhathi sokuhlolwa kwempilo okuvamile, ngokuhlolwa komchamo okubonisa i-proteinuria noma ukuhlolwa kwegazi okubonisa amazinga aphansi e-protein (i-hypoproteinemia).
Kutholakala Kanjani?
Njengoba lezi zimpawu zifana nezinye izimo, indlela enembile kakhulu yokuqinisekisa ukuxilongwa yi- Kidney Biopsy .
Kuyini i-Kidney Biopsy?
Ungakhathazeki. Kusetshenziswa ithuluzi elincane, elifana nenaliti ukuqoqa isampula encane kakhulu yezicubu ezinso lakho, bese lihlolwa ngaphansi kwe-microscope ukuthola izibazi.
Ngezinye izikhathi, kudingeka amasampula amaningi ngoba izibazi zingase zibe namabala ezicutshini zezinso.
Udokotela wakho angase futhi ancome:
- Ukuhlolwa kwe-Glomerular Filtration Rate (GFR): Ukulinganisa ukuthi izinso zakho zihlunga kahle kangakanani.
- Ukuskena kwe-Ultrasound yezinso: Ukuhlola usayizi, ukuma, kanye nesakhiwo sezinso zakho.
- Ukuhlolwa kofuzo: Ezimweni ezingavamile, ukuthola ukuthi kukhona yini imbangela ezuzwe njengefa.
Yiziphi Izindlela Zokwelapha?
Ngeshwa, okwamanje akukho ukwelashwa kwe-Glomerulosclerosis, futhi ayikho imithi ethile evunyelwe emhlabeni wonke yokuyiqeda.
Nokho, ungesabi. Izindlela zokwelapha ezahlukahlukene zingasiza ekuvimbeleni lesi simo ukuba singabi sibi kakhulu, zilawule izimpawu, futhi zigcine impilo yakho isezingeni elihle. Umgomo uwukunciphisa ukuqhubeka kwesifo nokuvikela ukusebenza kwezinso.
Ukwelashwa ngokuvamile kuhilela:
- Imithi yokucindezela kwegazi: Ama-ACE inhibitors nama-ARB asiza ukulawula ukucindezeleka kwegazi futhi anciphise kakhulu ukulahleka kwamaprotheni emchameni.
- Ama-immunosuppressants: Imithi efana nama-steroids ingasetshenziswa ukulawula umsebenzi wesimiso somzimba sokuzivikela.
- Imithi yokwehlisa i-cholesterol (ama-Statins): Ukuphatha amazinga aphezulu e-cholesterol.
- Imithi Yokuhlanza: Ukususa uketshezi oluningi nosawoti, ukunciphisa ukuvuvukala.
- Ama-anticoagulant: Ukusiza ukuvimbela ukuqhekeka kwegazi.
- Izinguquko endleleni yokuphila: Ukwamukela ukudla okunosawoti omncane, ukuvivinya umzimba njalo, kanye nokwengeza amavithamini afanele.
Okubaluleke kakhulu, uma isimo sakho sibangelwa isifo sikashukela noma ukukhuluphala ngokweqile, ukuphatha lesi sifo esiyisisekelo kubaluleke kakhulu. Ukuqapha igazi nomchamo njalo kubalulekile.
Uma lesi sifo siqhubekela ekuhlulekeni kwezinso, ukwelashwa okufana ne-dialysis noma ukufakelwa kwezinso kungadingeka.
Umlayezo Wokuya Nawe Ekhaya
- I-Glomerulosclerosis iwukuqhekeka kwezihlungi zezinso, okuholela ekusebenzeni okungasebenzi kahle.
- Qaphela izimpawu ezinjengokuvuvukala, umchamo onegwebu, kanye nomfutho wegazi ophakeme.
- Uma ubona lezi zimpawu, xhumana nodokotela wakho ngokushesha.
- Ukuhlolwa kwezinso ngokuvamile kuyadingeka ukuze kutholakale ukuxilongwa okuqondile.
- Nakuba okwamanje kungelapheki, amasu okuphatha asebenzayo anganciphisa lesi sifo futhi athuthukise inhlalakahle yakho. Ukungenelela kusenesikhathi kubalulekile.
