Recurrent and persistent haematuria : diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis - what does this mean
Recurrent and persistent haematuria due to diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis is caused by an autoimmune reaction that leads to inflammation and damage of the glomeruli, the tiny blood vessels in the kidneys that filter waste from the blood. this damage leads to the leakage of red blood cells into the urine, resulting in haematuria.
What happens during the disease - recurrent and persistent haematuria : diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis
Recurrent and persistent haematuria caused by diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis is a type of glomerulonephritis where the glomeruli of the kidneys become inflamed and scarred due to immune-mediated injury. this leads to an increased permeability of the glomerular capillaries, allowing red blood cells to leak into the urine and causing recurrent and persistent haematuria.

Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: To reduce inflammation and prevent further damage to the kidneys.
- Administer corticosteroids to reduce inflammation
- Prescribe immunosuppressive drugs to suppress the immune system
- Perform plasmapheresis to remove antibodies from the blood
- Prescribe angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors to reduce blood pressure
- Administer diuretics to reduce fluid retention
- Perform dialysis to remove waste and excess fluid from the body
