What else can I help you with?
In early stages _____ has no symptoms and develop with the time?
Chronic glomerulonephritis
What is the disease that encompasses a group of symptoms referred to as the protein-losing kidney?
acute glomerulonephritis.
What is glomerulonephritis?
Glomerulonephritis is a group of diseases that affect the part of the kidney responsible for filtering blood. It can be acute or chronic and is characterized by inflammation and damage to the glomeruli, which are tiny structures in the kidney that help filter waste from the blood. Symptoms can include blood in the urine, swelling, and high blood pressure. Treating underlying causes and managing symptoms are typical approaches for glomerulonephritis.
What are the symptoms of glomerulonephritis?
fatigue, high blood pressure, and swelling. Swelling is most notable in the hands, feet, ankles and face.
How is poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis diagnosed?
made by taking the patient's history, assessing his/her symptoms, and performing certain laboratory tests. Urinalysis usually shows blood and protein in the urine
What are the characteristics of glomerulonephritis?
Glomerulonephritis is a disease that affects the glomeruli in the kidneys, leading to inflammation and damage. It can cause symptoms such as blood or protein in the urine, high blood pressure, and swelling in the face, hands, or feet. Treatment often involves medications to reduce inflammation and control symptoms.
Is glomerulonephritis a UTI?
Possibly
How common is poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis?
a relatively uncommon disease affecting about one of every 10,000 people, although four or five times that many may actually be affected by it but show no symptoms
What can be symptoms of poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis?
fluid accumulation and tissue swelling (edema ) initially in the face and around the eyes, later in the legs low urine output (oliguria) blood in the urine (hematuria)
How does acute glomerulonephritis affect the kidney and urinary system?
Acute glomerulonephritis is an inflammation of the glomeruli in the kidneys, which can impair their ability to filter blood effectively. This condition often leads to symptoms such as hematuria (blood in urine), proteinuria (excess protein in urine), and edema due to fluid retention. As a result, the urinary system can be affected by reduced urine output and changes in urine composition. If left untreated, acute glomerulonephritis can lead to complications such as chronic kidney disease or kidney failure.
Is glomerulonephritis a rare disease?
YES
How is poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis treated?
designed to relieve the symptoms and prevent complications. Some patients are advised to stay in bed until they feel better and to restrict fluid and salt intake. Antibiotics may be prescribed
