Glomerulocystic kidney disease can be inherited by autosomal dominant inheritance, develop due to urinary tract obstruction, [3] manifest in cell proliferation during organogenesis, [8] and develop through other related kidney diseases. Familial heritable GCKD can be inherited by offspring through adults which can cause GCKD in children or babies.
Glomerulopathy includes collapsing glomerulopathy, glomerulocystic kidney disease, glomerulomegaly, membranous nephropathy, and tip lesion glomerulopathy. [ 2 ] Collapsing glomerulopathy (CG) is a clinicopathologic entity that involves hypertrophy and hyperplasia of podocytes and segmentar or global collapse of the glomerulus .
Glomerulonephritis (GN) is a term used to refer to several kidney diseases (usually affecting both kidneys). Many of the diseases are characterised by inflammation either of the glomeruli or of the small blood vessels in the kidneys, hence the name, [1] but not all diseases necessarily have an inflammatory component. [citation needed]
Glomerulonephrosis is a non-inflammatory disease of the kidney presenting primarily in the glomerulus (a glomerulopathy) as nephrotic syndrome.The nephron is the functional unit of the kidney and it contains the glomerulus, which acts as a filter for blood to retain proteins and blood lipids.
Autosomal recessive polycystic kidney disease (ARPKD) is the recessive form of polycystic kidney disease. It is associated with a group of congenital fibrocystic syndromes. [ 5 ] Mutations in the PKHD1 (chromosomal locus 6p12.2) cause ARPKD.
The majority of untreated cases of FSGS will progress to end-stage kidney disease. [38] Important prognostic factors include the degree of proteinuria and initial response to therapy. [citation needed] Patients with nephrotic-range (>3.5 g/day) proteinuria have over a 50% rate of progression to end-stage kidney disease at 10 years. [6]
Membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN) is a slowly progressive disease of the kidney affecting mostly people between ages of 30 and 50 years, usually white people (i.e., those of European, Middle Eastern, or North African ancestry.) [citation needed].
This category reflects the organization of International Statistical Classification of Diseases and Related Health Problems, 10th Revision. Generally, diseases outlined within the ICD-10 codes N00-N19, N20.0 within Chapter XIV: Diseases of the genitourinary system should be included in this category.
