ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -If the glomeruli are unable to filter the blood adequately, waste products and excess fluids build up in the bloodstream quickly. Hemodialysis may be needed to remove waste products and excess fluids. This could be temporary, until the kidney function recovers, or may be long term if the kidneys become damaged.

Detailed explanation-2: -Damage to the glomeruli from inflammation or scarring can lead to increased blood pressure. Nephrotic syndrome. Nephrotic syndrome is a condition in which there is too much blood protein in urine and too little in the bloodstream. These proteins play a role in regulating fluids and cholesterol levels.

Detailed explanation-3: -Background and Purpose-Persons with early stages of chronic kidney disease, defined by a decreased glomerular filtration rate (GFR), have an increased risk of cardiovascular disease. It is unclear whether decreased GFR is a risk factor for stroke.

Detailed explanation-4: -Blood in the urine (hematuria): Glomerular disease can cause your glomeruli to leak blood into your urine. Your urine may look pink or light brown from blood. Protein in the urine (proteinuria): Glomerular disease can cause your glomeruli to leak protein into your urine. Your urine may be foamy because of the protein.
