GENERAL HISTOLOGY

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: -Nephritis may be caused by infection, inflammatory conditions (such as lupus), certain genetic conditions, and other diseases or conditions. It may also be caused by taking certain medicines or being exposed to certain chemicals.

Detailed explanation-3: -Healthy glomeruli keep blood protein (mainly albumin)-which is needed to maintain the right amount of fluid in your body-from seeping into your urine. When damaged, glomeruli allow too much blood protein to leave your body, leading to nephrotic syndrome.

Detailed explanation-4: -Glomerulonephritis is inflammation and damage to the filtering part of the kidneys (glomerulus). It can come on quickly or over a longer period of time. Toxins, metabolic wastes and excess fluid are not properly filtered into the urine. Instead, they build up in the body causing swelling and fatigue.

Detailed explanation-5: -Blood in your urine. Foamy urine (due to excess protein in urine) High blood pressure. Swelling in your hands, ankles or feet. High levels of a waste product called creatinine in your blood.
