Chronic nephritic syndrome : focal and segmental glomerular lesions - what does this mean
Chronic nephritic syndrome is caused by focal and segmental glomerular lesions, which are characterized by inflammation of the glomeruli, the small filtering units of the kidneys. this can lead to damage to the glomerular basement membrane and the surrounding tissue, resulting in decreased kidney function and proteinuria.
What happens during the disease - chronic nephritic syndrome : focal and segmental glomerular lesions
Chronic nephritic syndrome is caused by a combination of factors that lead to focal and segmental glomerular lesions. these lesions are caused by damage to the glomerular basement membrane, which is the layer of the kidney that filters blood. this damage can be caused by inflammation, immune system dysfunction, or long-term exposure to toxins. the lesions can lead to proteinuria, hematuria, and a decrease in kidney function, resulting in a decrease in the body's ability to filter waste products.
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal of the Treatment: To reduce or eliminate the symptoms of Chronic Nephritic Syndrome and its focal and segmental glomerular lesions.
- Prescribe medications to reduce inflammation and reduce proteinuria.
- Provide dietary advice to reduce the risk of kidney damage.
- Provide lifestyle advice to reduce stress and improve overall health.
- Prescribe diuretics to reduce fluid retention.
- Prescribe antibiotics to prevent and treat infections.
- Perform regular blood tests to monitor kidney function.
- Perform regular urine tests to monitor protein levels.
- Perform regular imaging tests to monitor kidney structure.
- Refer to a nephrologist for further evaluation and treatment.
