Acute nephritic syndrome : other - what does this mean

Acute nephritic syndrome is a condition in which the glomeruli of the kidneys become inflamed, leading to swelling, leakage of protein into the urine, and reduced urine output. this can lead to a buildup of fluid in the body, or edema, as well as electrolyte imbalances, hypertension, and other complications.

What happens during the disease - acute nephritic syndrome : other

Acute nephritic syndrome is caused by damage to the glomeruli, the tiny filters in the kidneys that help to remove waste and excess fluid from the body. this damage can be caused by a variety of conditions, including infections, autoimmune diseases, and certain medications. when the glomeruli are damaged, they become less effective at filtering, leading to a buildup of waste products in the bloodstream, fluid retention, and a decrease in the amount of urine produced. this can lead to a variety of symptoms, including swelling, fatigue, and high blood pressure.
