  2. Goodpasture syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goodpasture_syndrome

    Goodpasture syndrome (GPS), also known as anti–glomerular basement membrane disease, is a rare autoimmune disease in which antibodies attack the basement membrane in lungs and kidneys, leading to bleeding from the lungs, glomerulonephritis, [1] and kidney failure. [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulmonary-renal_syndrome

    Pulmonary-renal syndrome (PRS) is a rare medical syndrome in which respiratory failure involving bleeding in the lungs and kidney failure (glomerulonephritis) occur. [1] PRS is associated with a high rate of morbidity and death. [1] The term was first used by Goodpasture in 1919 to describe the association of respiratory and kidney failure. [1]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Membranous_glomerulonephritis

    Similar to other causes of nephrotic syndrome (e.g., focal segmental glomerulosclerosis or minimal change disease), membranous nephropathy is known to predispose affected individuals to develop blood clots such as pulmonary emboli. Membranous nephropathy in particular is known to increase this risk more than other causes of nephrotic syndrome ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rapidly_progressive_glomer...

    Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) is a syndrome of the kidney that is characterized by a rapid loss of kidney function, [4] [5] (usually a 50% decline in the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) within 3 months) [5] with glomerular crescent formation seen in at least 50% [5] or 75% [4] of glomeruli seen on kidney biopsies.

  6. Nephritic syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephritic_syndrome

    The pathophysiology of nephritic syndrome is dependent on the underlying disease process, which can vary depending on what condition the nephritic syndrome is secondary to. More specifically, different diseases (many of which are mentioned above in the Causes section) affect different segments of the glomerulus and cause disease-specific ...

    Type II is today more commonly known as dense deposit disease (DDD). [5] Most cases of dense deposit disease do not show a membranoproliferative pattern. [ 6 ] It forms a continuum with C3 glomerulonephritis ; together they make up the two major subgroups of C3 glomerulopathy .

    Regardless of the differences between these three types of MPGN, they can all present as nephrotic syndrome, usually characterized by proteins in the urine, but in addition to this they can also present as nephritic syndrome, since they all also involve some sort of inflammation, with characteristic findings of hematuria—or blood in the urine ...

  9. Glomerulonephrosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glomerulonephrosis

    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. Damage to these filtration units results in ...
