Acute nephritic syndrome is a group of symptoms caused by inflammation of the glomeruli, the tiny blood vessels in the kidneys that filter waste from the blood. symptoms may include swelling of the face, hands, and feet, protein in the urine, high blood pressure, and decreased urine output. it can be caused by a variety of conditions, including infections, autoimmune diseases, and certain medications.
What happens during the disease - acute nephritic syndrome : unspecified
Acute nephritic syndrome is a disorder of the kidneys that occurs when the glomeruli, the filtering units of the kidneys, become inflamed and lose their ability to filter waste products from the blood. this inflammation can be caused by a variety of factors, including infection, autoimmune disease, or exposure to certain drugs or toxins. the loss of filtering ability leads to the build-up of waste products in the blood, resulting in symptoms such as proteinuria, hematuria, hypertension, and edema. treatment of acute nephritic syndrome typically involves identifying and treating the underlying cause, as well as managing any associated symptoms.
