Recurrent and persistent haematuria : focal and segmental glomerular lesions - what does this mean

Recurrent and persistent haematuria is caused by focal and segmental glomerular lesions, which are damage to the tiny blood vessels in the kidneys responsible for filtering waste from the blood. this damage results in red blood cells entering the urine, leading to haematuria.

What happens during the disease - recurrent and persistent haematuria : focal and segmental glomerular lesions

Recurrent and persistent haematuria is caused by focal and segmental glomerular lesions, which are lesions that affect either a portion of a glomerulus or a portion of the glomerular tuft. these lesions can be caused by a variety of conditions, such as glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy, and lupus nephritis. these conditions cause inflammation and scarring of the glomerular capillaries, leading to damage of the glomerular filtration barrier and resulting in the leakage of red blood cells into the urine. this leakage of red blood cells causes the haematuria.
