Recurrent and persistent haematuria : diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis - what does this mean

Recurrent and persistent haematuria due to diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis is caused by an immune reaction to antigens in the body leading to inflammation of the glomeruli in the kidneys, which causes them to become leaky and allow blood to pass into the urine. this is a form of glomerulonephritis which is a type of kidney disease.

What happens during the disease - recurrent and persistent haematuria : diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis

Recurrent and persistent haematuria is caused by diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis, an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system attacks the cells of the glomerulus, the filtering unit of the kidney. this leads to inflammation of the glomerulus and increased permeability of the glomerular basement membrane, allowing red blood cells and other proteins to leak into the urine. the inflammation and increased permeability also cause decreased filtration of waste products, leading to further complications such as proteinuria, hypertension, and renal failure.

How does a doctor diagnose

  • Complete physical examination and medical history review
  • Urine sample analysis
  • Imaging tests such as ultrasound, CT scan, MRI or X-ray
  • Kidney biopsy
  • Blood tests such as complete blood count, renal function tests, and serum creatinine
  • Urinalysis
  • Renal angiography
Additional tests may include:
  • Renal ultrasound
  • Renal scintigraphy
  • Renal arteriography

Treatment and Medical Assistance

Main Goal: To reduce the severity and frequency of recurrent and persistent haematuria and diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis.
  • Prescribe medications to control inflammation and reduce proteinuria.
  • Regular monitoring of blood pressure and urine output.
  • Administer diuretics to reduce fluid retention.
  • Monitor and adjust medication dosages as necessary.
  • Provide dietary and lifestyle advice to reduce the risk of recurrence.
  • Provide education on the importance of regular physical activity.
  • Administer immunosuppressant drugs to reduce the immune response.
  • Provide advice on the use of alternative therapies, such as acupuncture.
  • Refer to a specialist for further evaluation and treatment.
