Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis

Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis (MPGN) is a kidney condition where inflammation and immune system activity damage the tiny filtering units called glomeruli. This leads to thickening of the membranes within the kidneys and disrupts their ability to filter waste and excess fluid properly. As a result, people may experience symptoms like blood in the urine, swelling, or reduced kidney function. MPGN can be caused by immune system problems, infections, or other underlying issues, and treatment typically involves managing the immune response and protecting kidney function.
