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.

How does a doctor diagnose

  • Complete physical examination
  • Urine tests
  • Blood tests
  • Imaging tests (e.g. ultrasound, CT scan, MRI)
  • Kidney biopsy
  • Renal function tests
  • Renal scan (nuclear medicine study)
  • Urinalysis

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.
  • Monitoring the patient's electrolyte levels.
  • Prescribing medications to reduce high blood pressure.
  • Prescribing medications to reduce high cholesterol levels.
  • Prescribing ACE inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers.
  • Regularly monitoring the patient's kidney function.
  • Referring the patient to a nephrologist for further treatment.
