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

Recurrent and persistent haematuria due to diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis is caused by an autoimmune reaction that leads to inflammation and damage of the glomeruli, the tiny blood vessels in the kidneys that filter waste from the blood. this damage leads to the leakage of red blood cells into the urine, resulting in haematuria.

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

Recurrent and persistent haematuria caused by diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis is a type of glomerulonephritis where the glomeruli of the kidneys become inflamed and scarred due to immune-mediated injury. this leads to an increased permeability of the glomerular capillaries, allowing red blood cells to leak into the urine and causing recurrent and persistent haematuria.

How does a doctor diagnose

  • Complete physical examination
  • Urine analysis
  • Blood tests
  • Imaging tests such as ultrasound, CT scan or MRI
  • Kidney biopsy
  • Kidney function tests
  • Urine cytology
  • Urinalysis
  • Renal angiography

Treatment and Medical Assistance

Main Goal: To reduce inflammation and prevent further damage to the kidneys.
  • Administer corticosteroids to reduce inflammation
  • Prescribe immunosuppressive drugs to suppress the immune system
  • Perform plasmapheresis to remove antibodies from the blood
  • Prescribe angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors to reduce blood pressure
  • Administer diuretics to reduce fluid retention
  • Perform dialysis to remove waste and excess fluid from the body
  • Prescribe antibiotics to prevent infection
  • Administer iron supplements to treat anemia

Recurrent and persistent haematuria : diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis - Prevention

The best way to prevent recurrent and persistent haematuria caused by diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis is to avoid exposure to risk factors such as smoking, high blood pressure, and certain medications. additionally, proper management of any underlying medical conditions, such as diabetes or high cholesterol, can help reduce the risk of this condition. it is also important to maintain a healthy lifestyle, including regular exercise and a balanced diet.
