Acute nephritic syndrome : diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis - what does this mean
Acute nephritic syndrome is a type of glomerulonephritis that is caused by an immune reaction against the glomeruli, the filtering units of the kidney. it is characterized by a rapid onset of symptoms such as proteinuria, hematuria, and edema, and is associated with diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis, which is the presence of crescent-shaped cells in the glomeruli.
What happens during the disease - acute nephritic syndrome : diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis
Acute nephritic syndrome is caused by an immune-mediated inflammation of the glomeruli, the tiny filtering units of the kidneys. this results in a diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis, in which the glomeruli become inflamed and damaged, leading to a decreased ability to filter out waste products from the blood. this can result in fluid retention, hypertension, and proteinuria.
