Chronic nephritic syndrome : diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis - what does this mean
Chronic nephritic syndrome is a form of glomerulonephritis caused by a diffuse membrane thickening of the glomerular capillaries, leading to a decrease in the filtration of blood and an increase in protein and red blood cells in the urine. it can lead to kidney failure and other serious complications.
What happens during the disease - chronic nephritic syndrome : diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis
Chronic nephritic syndrome is caused by diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis, which is an autoimmune condition where the body's immune system attacks the glomeruli, the tiny filters in the kidney that remove waste from the blood. this causes inflammation and damage to the glomeruli, reducing their ability to filter properly and leading to proteinuria, hypertension, and edema. over time, this can lead to chronic kidney disease and end-stage renal failure.

Chronic nephritic syndrome : diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis - Prevention
The best way to prevent chronic nephritic syndrome is to reduce the risk factors associated with it, such as high blood pressure, diabetes, and obesity. additionally, individuals should maintain a healthy lifestyle by eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. early detection and treatment of any underlying conditions can help reduce the severity of chronic nephritic syndrome.
