Acute nephritic syndrome : diffuse mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis - what does this mean
Acute nephritic syndrome is caused by diffuse mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis, a type of glomerulonephritis that is characterized by inflammation of the glomeruli, the tiny filtering units in the kidneys. this inflammation results in the deposition of immune complexes in the glomerular capillaries, leading to the formation of small lesions on the glomerular walls and reduced kidney function.
What happens during the disease - acute nephritic syndrome : diffuse mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis
Acute nephritic syndrome is caused by diffuse mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis, a type of glomerulonephritis that is characterized by inflammation of the glomeruli in the kidneys. this inflammation leads to the formation of immune complexes, which can cause damage to the glomerular basement membrane, leading to the leakage of proteins and red blood cells in the urine. the leakage of proteins and red blood cells can lead to fluid retention, edema, hypertension, and other symptoms associated with acute nephritic syndrome.
Clinical Pattern

How does a doctor diagnose
- Blood tests to check for high levels of creatinine, urea, and protein
- Urine tests to check for proteinuria, hematuria, and cylindruria
- Imaging tests such as ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI to check for any structural abnormalities
- Kidney biopsy to confirm the diagnosis
- Renal function tests to check for kidney impairment
- Serological tests to check for antinuclear antibodies and anti-glomerular basement membrane antibodies
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: To reduce inflammation and prevent further damage to the kidneys
- Prescribe corticosteroids to reduce inflammation
- Prescribe immunosuppressants to reduce immune system activity
- Prescribe diuretics to reduce fluid retention
- Prescribe angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors to reduce blood pressure
- Prescribe anticoagulants to reduce the risk of blood clots
- Prescribe antibiotics to treat any bacterial infections
- Recommend a low-salt, low-protein diet to reduce strain on the kidneys
- Recommend regular exercise to improve overall health
- Monitor kidney function and urine output regularly
16 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Acute nephritic syndrome : diffuse mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis - Prevention
The best way to prevent acute nephritic syndrome (diffuse mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis) is to practice healthy habits such as maintaining a healthy diet and weight, avoiding smoking, exercising regularly, and getting regular check-ups to detect any early signs of kidney disease. additionally, controlling any underlying conditions such as high blood pressure or diabetes can help reduce the risk of developing acute nephritic syndrome.
