Unspecified nephritic syndrome : diffuse mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis - what does this mean
Unspecified nephritic syndrome is a type of diffuse mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis, which is caused by inflammation of the glomeruli in the kidneys, leading to damage to the small blood vessels in the kidneys and resulting in proteinuria, hematuria, edema, and hypertension.
What happens during the disease - unspecified nephritic syndrome : diffuse mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis
Unspecified nephritic syndrome is a type of diffuse mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis, which is characterized by inflammation of the glomeruli within the kidneys. this inflammation leads to an increased permeability of the glomerular capillary walls, allowing proteins and other molecules to leak into the urine. this can lead to a variety of symptoms, such as proteinuria, hematuria, edema, and hypertension. additionally, the inflammation can lead to scarring of the glomeruli, which can lead to renal failure.
