Acute nephritic syndrome : focal and segmental glomerular lesions - what does this mean
Acute nephritic syndrome is a medical disorder characterized by focal and segmental glomerular lesions. these lesions are caused by inflammation of the glomeruli, the filtering units of the kidney, and can lead to proteinuria, hematuria, and edema. the etiology of acute nephritic syndrome is usually either due to infection or immunological disorders.
What happens during the disease - acute nephritic syndrome : focal and segmental glomerular lesions
Acute nephritic syndrome is caused by an immune-mediated injury to the glomeruli, the filtering units of the kidneys. this can lead to focal and segmental glomerular lesions, which cause inflammation, scarring, and thickening of the glomerular basement membrane, leading to a decrease in the filtration of proteins and red blood cells into the urine. this can lead to a decrease in kidney function and can cause symptoms such as proteinuria, hematuria, edema, and hypertension.
