The function of glomeruli on kidney is to bring blood to the kidney nephrons.

The glomeruli.
The majority of glomeruli are located in the renal cortex of the kidneys. They are part of the nephron, which is the functional unit of the kidney responsible for filtering blood and forming urine. Each kidney contains approximately one million glomeruli, which play a crucial role in the filtration process.

Bright's Disease affects the kidney, including the nephrons and glomeruli. However, Bright's Disease is but one of many which affect the glomeruli of the kidney.

glomerulonephritis
Glomerular kidney disease refers to a group of conditions that affect the glomeruli, which are tiny filters in the kidneys responsible for filtering waste and excess fluids from the blood to form urine. These diseases can result in inflammation, scarring, or damage to the glomeruli, leading to impaired kidney function and potentially causing symptoms such as proteinuria (protein in the urine), hematuria (blood in the urine), and decreased kidney function. Treatment typically involves managing symptoms, addressing underlying causes, and potentially slowing disease progression through medications, lifestyle changes, and in some cases, dialysis or kidney transplant.
