Acute nephritic syndrome : minor glomerular abnormality - what does this mean

Acute nephritic syndrome is caused by a minor abnormality in the glomeruli, the tiny filtering units in the kidneys. this can lead to inflammation, proteinuria, and hematuria, which can cause a range of symptoms including edema, hypertension, and oliguria. in severe cases, it can lead to renal failure.

What happens during the disease - acute nephritic syndrome : minor glomerular abnormality

Acute nephritic syndrome is caused by a minor glomerular abnormality, which leads to an increase in the permeability of the glomerular capillaries. this allows plasma proteins to pass through the capillaries and into the urine, resulting in proteinuria. additionally, the glomerular abnormality leads to an increase in the number of red blood cells that are filtered out and excreted in the urine, resulting in hematuria. these two symptoms are the hallmark of acute nephritic syndrome.

How does a doctor diagnose

Urine analysis to detect presence of blood or protein
Blood tests to measure levels of creatinine and urea
Imaging tests such as ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI to check for any abnormalities in the kidneys
Kidney biopsy to confirm the diagnosis
Renal function tests to measure kidney function
Urinalysis to look for any signs of infection

Treatment and Medical Assistance

Main Goal: To reduce inflammation and improve kidney function

Prescribe corticosteroids and other anti-inflammatory medications
Provide supportive care, including hydration, electrolyte balance, and dietary management
Monitor urine output and urine protein levels
Prescribe medications to protect the kidneys from further damage
Monitor blood pressure and renal function
Refer to a nephrologist for further evaluation and management
