Glomerulonephritis is a group of kidney diseases characterized by inflammation of the glomeruli, the tiny filtering units within the kidneys. This condition disrupts the kidney's ability to effectively filter waste products from the blood, leading to potential damage and impaired kidney function. Glomerulonephritis can be acute, developing suddenly and often as a result of an infection or other triggering event, or chronic, progressing gradually over time and potentially leading to end-stage renal disease. The causes of glomerulonephritis are diverse and can be classified into primary and secondary types. Primary glomerulonephritis originates directly from issues within the glomeruli, often due to autoimmune disorders such as lupus or IgA nephropathy. Secondary glomerulonephritis results from systemic diseases or conditions that affect the kidneys, including infections like streptococcal infections, diabetes, or hypertension. Other potential causes include certain medications or genetic predispositions. Complications of glomerulonephritis can be significant and include chronic kidney disease, which may progress to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) requiring dialysis or kidney transplantation. Other complications may involve high blood pressure, fluid retention leading to swelling, and an increased risk of cardiovascular issues. Patients might also experience symptoms such as blood in the urine, proteinuria (excess protein in the urine), and impaired kidney function. Effective management of glomerulonephritis typically involves addressing the underlying cause, controlling blood pressure, and using medications to reduce inflammation and proteinuria. Regular monitoring and follow-up are essential to prevent complications and preserve kidney function.
