GLOMERULONEPHRITIS TYPES
|
|
Injury to glomeruli results in a variety of signs and symptoms of disease including:
|
Proteinuria
|
caused by
|
altered permeability of capillary walls.
|
|
Hematuria
|
caued by
|
loss of capillary wall integrity.
|
|
Azotemia
|
caused by
|
impaired filtration of nitrogenous wastes.
|
|
Oliguria or anuria
|
caused by
|
reduced or absent urine production.
|
|
Edema
|
caused by
|
loss of intravascular oncotic pressure.
|
|
Hypertension
|
caused by
|
fluid retention and 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
