Unspecified nephritic syndrome : dense deposit disease - what does this mean
Unspecified nephritic syndrome (uns) is a rare form of glomerulonephritis caused by dense deposit disease (ddd). ddd is an autoimmune disorder in which immune complexes form deposits in the glomeruli, leading to inflammation and reduced kidney function. symptoms of ddd include proteinuria, hematuria, hypertension, and sometimes nephrotic syndrome.
What happens during the disease - unspecified nephritic syndrome : dense deposit disease
Unspecified nephritic syndrome: dense deposit disease is a rare kidney disorder characterized by the formation of deposits in the glomeruli, the tiny filtering units of the kidneys. these deposits are composed of proteins, immune complexes, and other substances, and can cause inflammation and scarring of the glomeruli, leading to a decrease in the kidney's ability to filter waste and fluid from the blood. this can result in increased levels of waste in the blood, leading to symptoms such as proteinuria, hematuria, and hypertension.
