Hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified : diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis - what does this mean
Hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified: diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis is a genetic disorder that affects the kidneys. it is characterized by the abnormal proliferation of mesangial cells, which are cells that provide structural support to the glomeruli, the tiny filters in the kidneys that filter waste from the blood. this abnormal proliferation leads to inflammation and damage to the glomeruli, resulting in decreased kidney function.
What happens during the disease - hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified : diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis
Hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified is a type of diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis, which is caused by a genetic mutation that affects the glomerular mesangial cells. this mutation causes the cells to grow abnormally, leading to an increase in the number of cells and an increase in mesangial matrix. this in turn leads to a decrease in the size of the glomerular capillaries, which results in a decrease in the amount of blood that can be filtered by the kidneys. this can lead to a decrease in the amount of waste products that can be removed from the body, resulting in an increase in the levels of toxins in the blood, which can lead to kidney damage and other complications.
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To reduce the symptoms and slow the progression of the disease.
- Maintain a healthy lifestyle and diet
- Regular monitoring of kidney function
- Medications to reduce inflammation and control blood pressure
- Diuretics to reduce fluid retention
- Restrict protein intake
- Avoiding medications that may affect kidney function
- Regular exercise
- Managing stress
- Avoiding exposure to toxins
- Regular monitoring of blood glucose levels
- Regular monitoring of electrolyte levels
11 Days of Hospitalization Required
Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified : diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis - Prevention
Preventing hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified : diffuse mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis involves avoiding any known risk factors and taking measures to reduce the risk of kidney damage, such as maintaining a healthy lifestyle, keeping blood pressure and blood sugar at normal levels, and avoiding certain medications or substances that can harm the kidneys.
