Chronic nephritic syndrome : diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis - what does this mean
Chronic nephritic syndrome is a type of glomerulonephritis caused by diffuse endocapillary proliferation, which is an inflammatory process that affects the glomeruli of the kidneys. this leads to a decrease in the filtering capacity of the kidneys, resulting in proteinuria, hematuria, and edema.
What happens during the disease - chronic nephritic syndrome : diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis
Chronic nephritic syndrome is a form of glomerulonephritis, characterized by diffuse endocapillary proliferation of the glomeruli, resulting in inflammation and destruction of the glomerular filtration barrier. this leads to proteinuria, hematuria, and hypertension, as well as a decrease in the glomerular filtration rate, resulting in renal failure.
Clinical Pattern

How does a doctor diagnose
- Complete physical examination
- Urine analysis
- Blood tests (CBC, renal panel, electrolytes, BUN, creatinine)
- Kidney biopsy
- Imaging studies (ultrasound, CT scan, MRI)
- Kidney function tests (glomerular filtration rate, glomerular permeability tests)
- Renal angiography
- Renal biopsy
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the Treatment: Reduce inflammation and slow the progression of the disease.
- Administer corticosteroids and other immunosuppressive medications to reduce inflammation.
- Prescribe angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors to reduce blood pressure.
- Prescribe diuretics to reduce fluid retention.
- Monitor blood pressure and electrolyte levels.
- Monitor urine output and protein levels.
- Monitor kidney function.
- Encourage lifestyle changes such as reducing salt intake and increasing physical activity.
- Provide diet and nutrition counseling.
- Refer to a kidney specialist for further evaluation.
11 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Chronic nephritic syndrome : diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis - Prevention
The best way to prevent chronic nephritic syndrome is to maintain a healthy lifestyle. this includes eating a balanced diet, exercising regularly, and avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption. additionally, controlling high blood pressure and diabetes, as well as avoiding certain medications, can help reduce the risk of developing the condition.
