Explanation: 

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 causes one or both kidneys to become inflamed and leak protein into the urine. Nephritis is an inflammation of the kidneys. These important organs clean the blood by filtering out excess fluid and toxins, then eliminate those waste products from the body in the form of urine.

Detailed explanation-3: -Nephritis (kidney inflammation) is most often caused by autoimmune diseases that affect major organs, although it can also result from infection. Nephritis can cause excessive amounts of protein to be excreted in urine, and fluid to build up in the body.

Detailed explanation-4: -Lupus nephritis is a type of kidney disease caused by systemic lupus erythematosus link (SLE or lupus). Lupus is an autoimmune disease link-a disorder in which the body’s immune system attacks the body’s own cells and organs.
