  2. Membranous glomerulonephritis - Wikipedia

    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 ...

  3. 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 ...

    The clinical presentation of MesPGN usually consists of hematuria or nephrotic syndrome. [2] Treatment is often consistent with the histologic pattern of and/or disease process contributing to mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis, and usually involves some form of immunosuppressant.

    MPGN accounts for approximately 4% of primary renal causes of nephrotic syndrome in children and 7% in adults. [ 3 ] It should not be confused with membranous glomerulonephritis , a condition in which the basement membrane is thickened, but the mesangium is not.

    Diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis (DPGN) is a type of glomerulonephritis that is the most serious form of renal lesions in SLE and is also the most common, occurring in 35% to 60% of patients. [1]

    IgM nephropathy; Other names: immunoglobulin M nephropathy (IgMN) Antibody type IgM scheme. Blue - heavy chains, Yellow — light chains, Dark yellow/blue — variable regions (ends are binding sites), Light yellow/blue — constant regions, Green — disulfide bridges, Black — J chain

  8. Nephrotic syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephrotic_syndrome

    Nephrotic syndrome is a collection of symptoms due to kidney damage. This includes protein in the urine , low blood albumin levels , high blood lipids , and significant swelling . Other symptoms may include weight gain, feeling tired, and foamy urine.

  9. Nephritic syndrome - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nephritic_syndrome

    This constellation of symptoms contrasts with the classical presentation of nephrotic syndrome (excessive proteinuria >3.5 g/day, low plasma albumin levels (hypoalbuminemia) <3 g/L, generalized edema, and hyperlipidemia). [8] [10] Signs and symptoms that are consistent with nephritic syndrome include: Hematuria (red blood cells in the urine) [11]
