Unspecified nephritic syndrome : diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis - what does this mean

Unspecified nephritic syndrome is a type of diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis, which occurs when the glomeruli (tiny filters in the kidneys) become inflamed and scarred, leading to damage to the kidneys and impaired kidney function.

What happens during the disease - unspecified nephritic syndrome : diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis

Unspecified nephritic syndrome is a type of diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis, which is characterized by an abnormal proliferation of the cells of the glomerular capillary walls, leading to inflammation and scarring of the kidneys. this can lead to proteinuria, hematuria, hypertension, and renal failure. the exact cause of this condition is unknown, but it is believed to be linked to an autoimmune response, infection, or exposure to certain toxins.
