WHAT DOES GLOMERULONEPHRITIS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

glomerulonephritis

Glomerulonephritis

Glomerulonephritis, also known as glomerular nephritis, is a term used to refer to several renal diseases. Many of the diseases are characterised by inflammation either of the glomeruli or small blood vessels in the kidneys, hence the name, but not all diseases necessarily have an inflammatory component. As it is not strictly a single disease, its presentation depends on the specific disease entity: it may present with isolated hematuria and/or proteinuria; or as a nephrotic syndrome, a nephritic syndrome, acute renal failure, or chronic renal failure. They are categorized into several different pathological patterns, which are broadly grouped into non-proliferative or proliferative types. Diagnosing the pattern of GN is important because the outcome and treatment differs in different types. Primary causes are intrinsic to the kidney. Secondary causes are associated with certain infections, drugs, systemic disorders, or diabetes.
