Isolated proteinuria with specified morphological lesion : diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis - what does this mean

Isolated proteinuria with diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis is a type of glomerulonephritis where the glomeruli in the kidneys become inflamed, leading to an increased permeability of proteins from the blood into the urine, resulting in proteinuria. the morphological lesion is characterized by diffuse endocapillary proliferation, which is an increase in the number of cells within the capillaries of the glomeruli.

What happens during the disease - isolated proteinuria with specified morphological lesion : diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis

Isolated proteinuria with diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis is a type of glomerulonephritis caused by an autoimmune response that results in the inflammatory infiltration of the glomerular capillaries. this leads to a decrease in the glomerular filtration rate, resulting in the presence of increased levels of protein in the urine. the morphological lesion is characterized by the proliferation of endothelial cells in the glomerular capillaries, leading to an increase in the capillary permeability and a decrease in the glomerular filtration rate. this can lead to further complications such as edema, hypertension, and renal failure.

Clinical Pattern

How does a doctor diagnose

  • Complete blood count
  • Urinalysis
  • Urine protein/creatinine ratio
  • Blood urea nitrogen/creatinine ratio
  • Serum albumin
  • Serum electrolyte levels
  • Kidney biopsy
  • Imaging tests such as ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI

Treatment and Medical Assistance

Main goal of the treatment: Reduce the symptoms of the disease and improve kidney function.
  • Administering corticosteroids or other immunosuppressive medications to reduce inflammation in the kidneys.
  • Prescribing angiotensin-converting enzyme (ACE) inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers (ARBs) to help reduce proteinuria.
  • Prescribing diuretics to reduce fluid retention.
  • Prescribing medications to reduce high blood pressure.
  • Providing nutritional counseling to help manage proteinuria.
  • Recommending lifestyle changes such as quitting smoking, maintaining a healthy weight, and exercising regularly.
  • Monitoring the patient's blood pressure, proteinuria, and kidney function regularly.
