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

Recurrent and persistent haematuria due to diffuse mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis is caused by an autoimmune disorder in which the body's own immune system attacks the glomeruli, the filtering units of the kidneys. this leads to inflammation and damage, resulting in red blood cells being passed in the urine.

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

Recurrent and persistent haematuria is caused by diffuse mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis, which is an autoimmune disorder in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks the glomeruli, the tiny filters in the kidney that help remove waste from the blood. this attack causes inflammation and damage to the glomeruli, resulting in the leakage of red blood cells into the urine. this leakage causes the persistent and recurrent haematuria.

How does a doctor diagnose

  • Complete physical examination
  • Urine analysis
  • Blood tests, including complete blood count, electrolyte levels, and kidney function tests
  • Imaging tests, such as X-ray, ultrasound, computerized tomography (CT) scan, and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)
  • Biopsy of the kidney
  • Urine culture
  • Renal scintigraphy

Treatment and Medical Assistance

Main goal of the treatment: Reduce the inflammation in the kidney and prevent further damage.
  • Administer corticosteroids and immunosuppressants to reduce inflammation.
  • Prescribe antibiotics to prevent and treat infections.
  • Prescribe diuretics to reduce fluid retention.
  • Monitor blood pressure and adjust medications accordingly.
  • Monitor urine output and adjust medications accordingly.

Recurrent and persistent haematuria : diffuse mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis - Prevention

The prevention of recurrent and persistent haematuria due to diffuse mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis is primarily achieved through the control of underlying conditions such as hypertension, diabetes, and immunological disorders. it is also important to avoid exposure to nephrotoxic agents such as certain medications, alcohol, and recreational drugs. early diagnosis and timely treatment of any underlying conditions is essential for preventing the progression of the disease.
