Chronic nephritic syndrome : diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis - what does this mean
Chronic nephritic syndrome is a type of glomerulonephritis that is characterized by diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis, which is an inflammation of the glomeruli, the filtering units of the kidney. this inflammation leads to damage of the glomeruli, resulting in protein and blood in the urine, high blood pressure, and decreased kidney function.
What happens during the disease - chronic nephritic syndrome : diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis
Chronic nephritic syndrome is a result of diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis, a type of inflammation of the glomeruli, which are the tiny filtering units in the kidneys. the inflammation causes damage to the glomeruli, leading to an increase in the amount of protein and other substances being passed into the urine, as well as a decrease in the amount of urine being produced. this can lead to an accumulation of fluid in the body, as well as an increase in the levels of waste products in the blood. the exact cause of the inflammation is unknown, but it is believed to be an autoimmune response.
