Chronic nephritic syndrome : minor glomerular abnormality - what does this mean
Chronic nephritic syndrome is caused by minor glomerular abnormality which results in damage to the glomerular filtration barrier, leading to increased permeability of proteins and red blood cells in the urine, decreased glomerular filtration rate, and consequent renal impairment.
What happens during the disease - chronic nephritic syndrome : minor glomerular abnormality
Chronic nephritic syndrome is a condition caused by a minor abnormality in the glomerulus, the tiny blood vessels in the kidneys that filter waste from the blood. this abnormality leads to an increase in the size of the glomerulus, which causes a decrease in the rate of filtration. this decrease in filtration leads to an accumulation of waste products in the blood, resulting in a range of symptoms including fatigue, nausea, and swelling. the exact cause of this minor glomerular abnormality is unknown, but it is believed to be related to a genetic predisposition, environmental factors, or an underlying medical condition.

Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To reduce the symptoms and prevent the progression of the disease.
- Administering medication to reduce inflammation and reduce proteinuria.
- Maintaining a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet.
- Monitoring the patient's blood pressure and renal function regularly.
- Regularly testing the patient's urine for protein.
- Prescribing diuretics to reduce fluid retention.
- Encouraging the patient to limit their intake of salt and fluids.
