More Information on Glomerulonephritis

It has various types which are classified based on the type of mechanism

Antibody mediated
Cell mediated Injury

Injury to glomeruli results in a variety of signs and symptoms of disease including:

Proteinurias

caused by

altered permeability of capillary walls.

Hematuria

caused by

loss of capillary wall integrity.

Azotemia

caused by

impaired filtration of nitrogenous wastes.

Oliguria oranuria

caused by

reduced or absent urine production.

Edema

caused by

loss of intravascular oncotic pressure.

Hypertension

caused by

fluid retentionand altered renal regulation of blood pressure.



Several syndromes related to glomerulonephritis have been described.

Nephrotic syndrome: Proteinuria in excess of 3.5 grams in 24 hours, accompanied by edema, hypoalbuminemia, hyperlipidemia and lipiduria.

Acute nephritis or the Nephritic syndrome: Hematuria, variable proteinuria, azotemia, and hypertension.

Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis: Hematuria, oliguria and acute renal failure.

Although much overlap exists, glomerular diseases may be classified by their predominant clinical manifestations.
