A spleen invasion can affect any organ. Helminths, getting into the human body, can for a long time live there. They actively multiply and feed at the expense of their master. Parasitic disease can manifest itself in different ways, which is why a patient can be treated for a long time from other diseases and do not know what he really is sick. Most often, parasites live in the digestive organs, but are there worms in the kidneys?
Some types of worms can travel with a current of blood throughout the body. They are found in different organs, there is practically no place where they could not live. For example, worms in human kidneys can be very dangerous to health. They quickly destroy the tissue of the organ and thereby prevent its normal functioning. Because of the presence of worms in the tissues of the kidney, inflammation can begin, often there is pyelonephritis.
Such uninvited guests can also cause kidney stones, as well as non-healing fistulas. Thanks to the vital activity of worms, general immunity decreases, they can become a trigger mechanism for the formation of cysts and tumors.
Symptoms of worms in the kidneys may initially not be pronounced. But over time, there is a gradual decrease in the function of the organ, and even kidney failure may occur. The patient begins to suffer from headaches, there is irritability and constant fatigue. Suspect something wrong will help the following symptoms:
- bad breath;
- pressure jumps;
- ankle edema;
- blunt low back pain;
- anemia;
- indigestion;
- gum bleeding.
It is almost impossible to recognize a parasitic disease independently. That is why, in the presence of the above signs it is necessary to undergo a survey.
Helminths of the kidneys - schistomatosis
Schistomatosis is a serious disease that requires immediate treatment. It can be caused by trematodes, but fortunately, this species of parasites lives in the tropics and is rare in our region. The carriers of the disease can be both animals and people. Helminth can penetrate the body through the skin or stomach.
At first the disease manifests itself clearly: the temperature rises, diarrhea and vomiting appear. Then these manifestations pass, and the chronic course of the illness begins. The parasite chooses one organ and can live there for many years. For example, if he has settled in the kidneys, the patient may be suffering from dull pain in the lower back. Often this is the only symptom, but if a person goes to examine, then pus and eggs of worms will be found in the urine.
Kidney glands - echinococcosis
This disease is also quite rare, you can get infected from a sick dog, as well as from wild animals and poorly washed vegetables and fruits. The glist causing this disease can also move with the blood flow throughout the body. Most often it affects the lungs and liver, but sometimes it occurs in the kidneys.
In this case, the patient can be tormented by dull pain in the lumbar region, when probed, the organ can be enlarged. The parasite, getting into the organ, strengthens there and forms a cyst, which reaches an impressive size. It squeezes the organ and prevents it from functioning normally. If the cyst burst, the patient may feel acute and unbearable pain.
The kidney glisten is rare, but the defeat of this organ often leads to serious health problems. Unlike liver, the kidneys are not restored, so they need to be protected. At the first signs of helminthic invasion, it is desirable to immediately be examined and undergo the necessary course of treatment.
