Chronic nephritic syndrome : dense deposit disease - what does this mean

Chronic nephritic syndrome, also known as dense deposit disease, is a kidney disorder caused by an immune response to a genetic defect in the proteins that control the movement of substances in and out of cells. this results in deposits of an abnormal material in the glomeruli, the tiny filters in the kidneys that help clean the blood. this can lead to reduced kidney function and a build-up of waste in the blood.

What happens during the disease - chronic nephritic syndrome : dense deposit disease

Chronic nephritic syndrome: dense deposit disease is a rare kidney disorder in which deposits of abnormal proteins accumulate in the glomeruli of the kidneys, leading to inflammation and scarring. this can cause a decrease in the kidney's ability to filter waste products from the blood, resulting in a buildup of toxins in the blood and a decrease in the production of urine. over time, this can cause permanent damage to the kidneys, leading to end-stage renal disease.
