Recurrent and persistent haematuria : diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis - what does this mean
Recurrent and persistent haematuria due to diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis is a type of kidney disease caused by inflammation and increased proliferation of the cells of the glomeruli, which are the tiny filtering units of the kidneys. this leads to accumulation of proteins and red blood cells in the urine, resulting in recurrent and persistent haematuria.
What happens during the disease - recurrent and persistent haematuria : diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis
Recurrent and persistent haematuria is caused by diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis. this is an immune-mediated condition where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the glomeruli, the tiny filters in the kidneys responsible for removing waste from the blood. this leads to inflammation and damage to the glomeruli, resulting in leakage of red blood cells into the urine. over time, the damage can worsen, leading to further haematuria and ultimately kidney failure.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Complete physical exam
- Urine analysis
- Blood test
- Imaging tests (ultrasound, CT scan, MRI)
- Kidney biopsy
- Urine cytology
- Renal function tests
- Urinalysis culture
- Renal biopsy
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal of the Treatment: To reduce inflammation of the glomeruli and to minimize the risk of complications
- Administer high doses of corticosteroids
- Prescribe immunosuppressive medications
- Administer diuretics to reduce the amount of fluid in the body
- Prescribe antibiotics to prevent infection
- Prescribe blood pressure medications to reduce the risk of further damage to the kidneys
- Monitor kidney function with regular blood tests and urine tests
- Provide lifestyle advice to reduce the risk of further damage to the kidneys
- Refer to a specialist if necessary
9 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Recurrent and persistent haematuria : diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis - Prevention
The best way to prevent recurrent and persistent haematuria due to diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis is to maintain a healthy lifestyle, which includes regular exercise, a balanced diet, and adequate hydration. it is also important to avoid any risk factors that can lead to this condition, such as smoking, excessive alcohol consumption, and high blood pressure. early diagnosis and prompt treatment of any underlying conditions can also help to prevent this disease.
