Chronic nephritic syndrome : diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis - what does this mean
Chronic nephritic syndrome is a type of diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis, which is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the glomeruli, the filtering units of the kidney. this disorder is characterized by an accumulation of inflammatory cells in the mesangium of the glomerulus, leading to thickening of the glomerular capillary walls and a decrease in the number of functioning glomeruli. this results in a decrease in the filtering ability of the kidney, leading to an accumulation of waste products in the bloodstream.
What happens during the disease - chronic nephritic syndrome : diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis
Chronic nephritic syndrome is caused by diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis, which is an inflammatory disorder of the glomeruli in the kidneys. this condition results in mesangial cell proliferation, which leads to increased extracellular matrix components and thickening of the glomerular basement membrane. this thickening of the basement membrane results in increased filtration resistance, leading to proteinuria, hematuria, and edema. it also leads to a decrease in the glomerular filtration rate, resulting in an accumulation of waste products in the blood. over time, this can lead to kidney damage and even kidney failure.

How does a doctor diagnose
- Complete Blood Count (CBC)
- Urine Analysis
- Kidney Biopsy
- Blood Urea Nitrogen (BUN) and Creatinine Levels
- Urinalysis
- Urine Protein Tests
- Serum Immunofixation Electrophoresis (IFE)
- Kidney Ultrasound

Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To reduce inflammation and slow the progression of the disease.
- Administer corticosteroids and other immunosuppressive drugs to reduce inflammation and slow the progression of the disease.
- Prescribe diuretics to reduce fluid retention and reduce blood pressure.
- Prescribe ACE inhibitors and angiotensin-2 receptor blockers to reduce blood pressure.
- Prescribe medications to reduce proteinuria and slow the progression of the disease.
- Prescribe medications to reduce cholesterol and triglyceride levels.
- Encourage the patient to exercise regularly and maintain a healthy weight.
- Encourage the patient to follow a low-salt diet.
- Monitor the patient's blood pressure, proteinuria, and renal function regularly.
11 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Chronic nephritic syndrome : diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis - Prevention
The best way to prevent chronic nephritic syndrome: diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis is to maintain a healthy lifestyle with regular exercise and a balanced diet, avoid smoking, and limit alcohol consumption. additionally, it is important to practice good hygiene, get regular check-ups, and be aware of any family history of the condition.
