Acute nephritic syndrome : diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis - what does this mean
Acute nephritic syndrome is caused by a type of glomerulonephritis known as diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis. this is an immune-mediated inflammation of the glomeruli, the tiny filters of the kidney, which can lead to proteinuria, hematuria, and edema. it is characterized by an increase in the size of the glomeruli and a thickening of the glomerular basement membrane, which can cause scarring and a decrease in kidney function.
What happens during the disease - acute nephritic syndrome : diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis
Acute nephritic syndrome is a type of diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis that results from the deposition of antigen-antibody complexes in the glomerular capillary wall. this leads to inflammation and damage to the glomerular basement membrane, resulting in decreased glomerular filtration rate and increased urinary protein excretion. the inflammation also leads to the formation of scar tissue, which can further impair renal function. in some cases, the immune response can also cause damage to the tubules, leading to tubular dysfunction and electrolyte imbalances.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Complete physical examination
- Urine analysis
- Complete blood count (CBC)
- Blood chemistry tests
- Urinalysis
- Kidney biopsy
- Renal imaging tests (ultrasound, CT scan, MRI)
- Kidney function tests
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: To reduce inflammation and preserve kidney function
- Prescribe corticosteroid medications
- Administer immunosuppressive drugs
- Provide lifestyle modifications, such as reducing salt intake and avoiding strenuous activity
- Monitor kidney function with regular blood and urine tests
- Administer diuretics to reduce fluid retention
- Prescribe medications to control high blood pressure
- Prescribe medications to reduce proteinuria
- Prescribe antibiotics to treat bacterial infections
- Refer to a nephrologist for further evaluation
16 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Acute nephritic syndrome : diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis - Prevention
The best way to prevent acute nephritic syndrome (diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis) is to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise, a balanced diet, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. additionally, it is important to take preventative measures to avoid infections, such as getting vaccinated and practicing good hygiene. early detection and treatment of any underlying medical conditions, such as high blood pressure, can help reduce the risk of developing acute nephritic syndrome.
