Glomerular disorders in diseases classified elsewhere - what does this mean
Glomerular disorders in diseases classified elsewhere occur when the glomeruli, or small filtering units in the kidneys, become damaged due to another underlying medical condition, such as diabetes, lupus, or amyloidosis. this damage can lead to an accumulation of waste products in the blood, proteinuria, and other kidney-related complications.
What happens during the disease - glomerular disorders in diseases classified elsewhere
Glomerular disorders in diseases classified elsewhere are a result of the disruption of the glomerular filtration barrier, which is responsible for the filtration of blood. this disruption could be caused by an autoimmune response, genetic predisposition, infection, or other environmental factors that can damage the glomerular capillaries, resulting in an increased permeability of the barrier, leading to proteinuria, hematuria, and edema.
