Glomerulonephritis

Glomerulonephritis is an inflammation of the glomeruli, the tiny filtering units in the kidneys that remove waste and excess fluid from the blood. This condition can result from infections, autoimmune diseases, or other factors. When the glomeruli are damaged, they may leak proteins or blood into the urine, leading to symptoms like swelling, high blood pressure, or changes in urine color. It's essential to diagnose and treat glomerulonephritis to prevent kidney damage and maintain overall health. Treatment may include medications, lifestyle changes, or addressing the underlying cause of the inflammation.
