Absence or low individual and public risk
Isolated proteinuria with specified morphological lesion : diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis - what does this mean
Isolated proteinuria with diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis is a type of kidney disease in which the glomeruli become inflamed and scarred due to an immune reaction, leading to increased protein in the urine and decreased kidney function. this type of glomerulonephritis can be caused by infection, an autoimmune disorder, or a reaction to certain medications.
What happens during the disease - isolated proteinuria with specified morphological lesion : diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis
Isolated proteinuria with diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis is a type of glomerulonephritis that is caused by an autoimmune response. the immune system mistakenly attacks the glomeruli, the tiny blood vessels in the kidneys that filter waste from the blood, resulting in inflammation, scarring, and crescent-shaped lesions. this leads to increased permeability of the glomerular capillaries, resulting in proteinuria and the other symptoms of glomerulonephritis.
Clinical Pattern

How does a doctor diagnose
- Complete medical history and physical examination
- Urine tests (urinalysis, urine protein/creatinine ratio, urine sediment)
- Blood tests (complete blood count, serum creatinine, serum complement, antinuclear antibody, anti-streptolysin O titer)
- Imaging studies (ultrasound, CT scan, MRI)
- Kidney biopsy
- Renal function tests (glomerular filtration rate, creatinine clearance)
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: reduce inflammation and improve renal function
- Administer corticosteroids and/or immunosuppressants to reduce inflammation
- Administer diuretics to reduce fluid retention
- Administer antibiotics to treat any underlying infection
- Administer angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitors or angiotensin receptor blockers to reduce proteinuria
- Provide nutritional support to improve renal function
- Perform regular blood tests to monitor kidney function
- Provide lifestyle modifications, such as avoiding smoking and excessive alcohol consumption
13 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Isolated proteinuria with specified morphological lesion : diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis - Prevention
The best way to prevent isolated proteinuria with diffuse crescentic glomerulonephritis is to maintain a healthy lifestyle with a balanced diet, regular exercise, and avoiding any potential environmental triggers such as smoking, alcohol, and drug use. additionally, it is important to maintain good control of any underlying medical conditions such as hypertension and diabetes, as these can increase the risk of developing the disease.
