Chronic nephritic syndrome : diffuse mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis - what does this mean

Chronic nephritic syndrome is caused by diffuse mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis, a type of glomerulonephritis in which the glomeruli of the kidney become inflamed and damaged. this causes the kidneys to become unable to filter out waste and excess fluid from the body, leading to a buildup of toxins in the blood and a decrease in the production of urine.

What happens during the disease - chronic nephritic syndrome : diffuse mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis

Chronic nephritic syndrome is caused by diffuse mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis, a type of glomerulonephritis that affects the small blood vessels in the kidneys. it is characterized by inflammation of the glomeruli, the tiny filters inside the kidneys that are responsible for filtering the blood. this inflammation leads to an accumulation of proteins and red blood cells in the urine, as well as an increase in the amount of waste products that are not filtered out. over time, this can lead to permanent damage to the kidneys and a decline in their function.

How does a doctor diagnose

  • Physical examination
  • Urine analysis
  • Blood tests
  • Imaging tests (e.g. ultrasound, CT scan, MRI)
  • Kidney biopsy
Additions:
  • Renal function tests
  • Renal ultrasound
  • Renal angiogram
  • Renal scintigraphy

Treatment and Medical Assistance

Main goal of the treatment: Reduce inflammation, prevent further damage to the glomeruli, and preserve kidney function.
  • Prescription of corticosteroids or other immunosuppressants to reduce inflammation
  • Blood pressure control using anti-hypertensive medications
  • Prescription of medications to reduce proteinuria (protein in the urine)
  • Dietary modifications to reduce salt and protein intake
  • Fluid and electrolyte balance maintenance
  • Regular monitoring of kidney function and urine protein levels
  • Regular monitoring of blood pressure
  • Regular monitoring of blood chemistry levels
  • Regular monitoring of urinalysis results
