Nephrotic syndrome : dense deposit disease - what does this mean
Nephrotic syndrome dense deposit disease is a rare form of nephrotic syndrome that is caused by an abnormal immune response that leads to inflammation and scarring of the glomeruli in the kidneys. this can lead to proteinuria, edema, and other symptoms of nephrotic syndrome. treatment for this condition typically involves the use of immunosuppressant medications to reduce inflammation and prevent further damage to the kidneys.
What happens during the disease - nephrotic syndrome : dense deposit disease
Nephrotic syndrome: dense deposit disease is a rare kidney disorder in which abnormal deposits of proteins and other substances accumulate in the glomerular basement membrane of the kidneys. this leads to damage of the glomeruli, resulting in proteinuria, edema, hypoalbuminemia, and hyperlipidemia. the exact cause of the disease is unknown, however, it is thought to be an autoimmune disorder, in which the body's own immune system mistakenly attacks the glomeruli, leading to inflammation and scarring.
