Rapidly progressive nephritic syndrome : minor glomerular abnormality - what does this mean

Rapidly progressive nephritic syndrome is a type of kidney disorder that is caused by a minor glomerular abnormality, which leads to inflammation of the glomeruli, the tiny blood vessels in the kidneys that filter waste from the blood. this inflammation can cause the kidneys to rapidly lose their ability to filter waste, resulting in rapid renal failure.

What happens during the disease - rapidly progressive nephritic syndrome : minor glomerular abnormality

Rapidly progressive nephritic syndrome is a rare disorder caused by a minor glomerular abnormality that causes an increase in the permeability of the glomerular capillary walls, allowing proteins and other macromolecules to pass through the glomerulus and into the urine. this increased permeability leads to a rapid decline in glomerular filtration rate, resulting in a decrease in the amount of urine produced, an increase in the levels of waste products and electrolytes in the blood, and a decrease in the amount of protein in the urine. these changes can lead to a rapid deterioration in renal function and, if left untreated, can lead to end-stage renal failure.

How does a doctor diagnose

  • Complete blood count (CBC)
  • Urinalysis
  • Urine protein/creatinine ratio
  • Serum creatinine
  • Serum electrolytes
  • Serum albumin
  • Serum cholesterol
  • Serum triglycerides
  • Serum calcium
  • Serum phosphorus
  • Serum uric acid
  • Serum urea nitrogen
  • Serum glucose
  • Serum lactic acid
  • Serum albumin/globulin ratio
  • Renal ultrasound
  • Kidney biopsy

Treatment and Medical Assistance

Main goal of the treatment: To reduce the progression of the disease and improve the patient's overall health.
  • Treat underlying conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and infections.
  • Prescribe medications to reduce inflammation and slow the progression of the disease.
  • Monitor the patient's blood pressure and kidney function.
  • Prescribe medications to reduce proteinuria.
  • Monitor the patient's urine for protein, blood, and other abnormalities.
  • Administer immunosuppressive therapy if necessary.
  • Refer the patient to a nephrologist for further evaluation and management.

Rapidly progressive nephritic syndrome : minor glomerular abnormality - Prevention

Prevention of rapidly progressive nephritic syndrome with minor glomerular abnormality can be achieved by early detection and treatment of any underlying medical conditions, such as diabetes and hypertension, as well as regular monitoring of kidney function and urine tests. additionally, avoiding smoking and excess alcohol consumption, maintaining a healthy diet, and exercising regularly can help reduce the risk of developing this syndrome.
