What is glomerulonephritis / Nephritis / Nephrotic Syndrome? |
|||
Text 
Each kidney contains about 1-3 million nephrons and they are the functional unit of the kidney. Each nephron contains a structure called the glomerulus through which the bloodvessels pass and the waste products of the body get purified. Glomerulonephritis is the term used to describe a group of diseases that damage the part of the kidney that filters blood. When the kidney is damaged, it cannot get rid of wastes and extra fluid in the body. If the illness continues, the kidneys may stop working completely.

Posted on: 04/17/2012 My son had this when he was 4 as a result of HSP. When admitted into Childrens Hospital he was in 80% kidney failure. However, in 4 days his kidneys were functionally almost normally. The DR. said he didnt understand how he recovered so quickly. I am looking for statistics as to this type of recovery. |
