Recurrent and persistent haematuria : minor glomerular abnormality - what does this mean
Recurrent and persistent haematuria is caused by minor glomerular abnormality, which is a defect in the glomerulus, the tiny filtering unit of the kidney that is responsible for removing waste and excess fluid from the blood. this defect can cause red blood cells to leak into the urine, resulting in haematuria.
What happens during the disease - recurrent and persistent haematuria : minor glomerular abnormality
Recurrent and persistent haematuria is often caused by minor glomerular abnormality. it is usually caused by an inflammatory process in the glomerulus, which causes the glomerular capillary walls to become damaged and leaky. this results in red blood cells passing through the glomerulus and entering the urine, resulting in haematuria.
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal: To reduce the recurrence and persistence of haematuria due to minor glomerular abnormality
- Monitoring and controlling blood pressure
- Maintaining a healthy lifestyle
- Ensuring adequate hydration
- Avoiding strenuous physical activity
- Managing any underlying conditions that may be contributing to the haematuria
- Regularly monitoring blood and urine samples
- Monitoring for any signs of infection
- Administering antibiotics if infection is present
- Regularly monitoring for any changes in the glomerular filtration rate
- Administering diuretics to reduce fluid retention
- Administering immunosuppressants to reduce inflammation
- Administering corticosteroids to reduce inflammation
- Administering anticoagulants to reduce the risk of clotting
- Administering antispasmodics to reduce muscle spasms
- Administering antihypertensives to reduce blood pressure

Recurrent and persistent haematuria : minor glomerular abnormality - Prevention
Recurrent and persistent haematuria with minor glomerular abnormality can be prevented by avoiding smoking, maintaining a healthy diet and lifestyle, avoiding contact with toxins, and getting regular medical check-ups. early detection and treatment of any underlying conditions, such as diabetes, hypertension, or kidney disease, can also help to prevent recurrent and persistent haematuria with minor glomerular abnormality.
