Glomerular disorders in other diseases classified elsewhere - what does this mean
Glomerular disorders in other diseases classified elsewhere occur when the glomeruli, which are small clusters of capillaries in the kidneys that filter blood, become damaged as a result of an underlying medical condition such as diabetes, lupus, or hiv. this can lead to a number of problems such as proteinuria, hematuria, and hypertension, which can cause further damage to the kidneys and lead to kidney failure.
What happens during the disease - glomerular disorders in other diseases classified elsewhere
Glomerular disorders in other diseases classified elsewhere are caused by an underlying condition that affects the glomeruli, the tiny filters in the kidneys that remove waste from the blood. this can be due to an autoimmune disorder, infection, or structural damage to the glomeruli. these conditions can cause inflammation, scarring, and/or blockage of the glomeruli, resulting in decreased kidney function and the accumulation of waste in the bloodstream.
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main Goal: Treat the glomerular disorder in other diseases classified elsewhere.
- Administer medications to reduce inflammation and improve kidney function.
- Monitor the patient's blood pressure, urine output, and other vital signs.
- Perform regular blood tests to check for changes in electrolyte levels.
- Prescribe diuretics to reduce fluid retention.
- Prescribe antibiotics to treat any infections.
- Prescribe immunosuppressant drugs to reduce the risk of further damage to the kidneys.
- Perform dialysis to remove waste products from the blood.
- Refer the patient to a nephrologist for further evaluation and treatment.
