Glomerulonephritis refers to a group of kidney disorders that primarily affect the glomeruli — the tiny filtering units within the kidneys. These conditions fall broadly under two categories: Nephrotic Syndrome and Nephritic Syndrome, each presenting with distinct symptoms and requiring tailored management strategies.
Nephrotic Syndrome is more commonly seen in children but can also affect adults. I frequently treat patients who present with:
Accumulation of fluid in the legs causing noticeable puffiness.
Excessive protein leaking into urine, indicating kidney damage.
Nephritic Syndrome often affects adults and is typically characterized by:
Consistently high blood pressure that can strain kidney function.
Presence of red blood cells in urine, often a sign of kidney inflammation.
Early identification and prompt diagnosis are essential to prevent long-term kidney damage. In my practice, I focus on accurate evaluation and personalized care to ensure the best possible outcomes. With timely intervention, many forms of glomerulonephritis can be treated successfully — often leading to full recovery when addressed early.
