Absence or low individual and public risk
Hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified : diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis - what does this mean
Hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified: diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis is a type of kidney disease caused by mutations in the genes that control the production of proteins essential for normal kidney functioning. it is characterized by the thickening of the glomerular basement membrane, resulting in inflammation and scarring of the kidneys, leading to proteinuria, edema, and renal failure.
What happens during the disease - hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified : diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis
Hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified: diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis is an inherited disorder caused by mutations in the genes that encode for proteins involved in the formation of the glomerular basement membrane. these mutations lead to the formation of an abnormal membrane that is more permeable to proteins, causing them to be lost in the urine. this leads to a decrease in the filtering capacity of the kidneys, resulting in proteinuria, edema, and eventually, kidney failure.
Clinical Pattern
More details coming soon
How does a doctor diagnose
- Complete medical history and physical examination
- Urine analysis to check for proteinuria, hematuria, and white blood cell casts
- Blood tests to check for elevated creatinine levels
- Imaging tests such as ultrasound, CT scan, or MRI to check for changes in the kidneys
- Kidney biopsy to examine a sample of the kidney tissue
- Genetic testing to look for mutations in genes associated with hereditary nephropathy
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To reduce inflammation and slow the progression of the disease
- Prescribe medications to reduce inflammation, such as corticosteroids or immunosuppressants
- Provide lifestyle advice to reduce the risk of further kidney damage, such as limiting salt intake, avoiding smoking, and maintaining a healthy weight
- Monitor blood pressure and prescribe antihypertensive medications as needed
- Monitor kidney function and prescribe medications to reduce protein and albumin in the urine as needed
- Refer patient to a dietitian to develop a meal plan that is low in protein and sodium
- Refer patient to a physical therapist to develop an exercise plan that is tailored to their individual needs
- Refer patient to a mental health professional to help manage stress and anxiety
- Provide patient with education and support to help them understand their condition and manage their symptoms
