Rapidly progressive nephritic syndrome : diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis - what does this mean

Rapidly progressive nephritic syndrome is a type of diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis, which occurs when the kidney's glomeruli become inflamed and scarred, leading to decreased kidney function and potentially permanent damage. this condition is caused by an immune system response to a variety of different conditions and can progress quickly over a short period of time.

What happens during the disease - rapidly progressive nephritic syndrome : diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis

Rapidly progressive nephritic syndrome is a form of diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis, which is an autoimmune disorder caused by an abnormal immune response to antigens in the glomerular mesangium. this leads to an accumulation of immune complexes in the mesangium, which triggers an inflammatory response that causes the mesangium to become thickened and the glomerular capillaries to become narrowed. this can lead to decreased filtration of waste products, electrolytes, and proteins, resulting in proteinuria, hematuria, and edema. in severe cases, it can lead to renal failure.

  • Renal angiography

Treatment and Medical Assistance

Main goal of the treatment: To slow the progression of the disease and prevent further damage to the kidneys.
  • Administer corticosteroids and other immunosuppressant medications
  • Prescribe diuretics to reduce swelling
  • Prescribe ACE inhibitors to reduce blood pressure
  • Monitor blood pressure, kidney function, and urine output regularly
