ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Glomerulonephritis (gloe-MER-u-loe-nuh-FRY-tis) is inflammation of the tiny filters in the kidneys (glomeruli). The excess fluid and waste that glomeruli (gloe-MER-u-lie) remove from the bloodstream exit the body as urine. Glomerulonephritis can come on suddenly (acute) or gradually (chronic).

Detailed explanation-2: -Three phases of the disease can be identified: the latent phase, the acute phase, and the recovery phase. Gross hematuria occurs at onset in 30-50% of children with poststreptococcal acute glomerulonephritis who require hospitalization. The urine is usually described as being smoky, cola colored, tea colored, or rusty.

Detailed explanation-3: -There are two types of glomerulonephritis: acute and chronic.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glomerulonephritis is damage to the tiny filters inside your kidneys (the glomeruli). It’s often caused by your immune system attacking healthy body tissue. Glomerulonephritis does not usually cause any noticeable symptoms. It’s more likely to be diagnosed when blood or urine tests are carried out for another reason.

Detailed explanation-5: -What causes acute glomerulonephritis? The acute disease may be caused by infections such as strep throat. It may also be caused by other illnesses, including lupus, Goodpasture’s syndrome, Wegener’s disease, and polyarteritis nodosa. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment are important to prevent kidney failure.
