Glomerulonephritis­­­­­

What is Glomerulonephritis?

Glomerulonephritis refers to inflammation in the kidneys. The presentation of glomerulonephritis can be very variable.

In some cases, kidney damage is reversible, and function normalizes either spontaneously or with medications. In other cases, kidney damage is irreversible, and patients develop CKD, which can progress to ESRD.

Symptoms

In some cases, there may be a sudden onset of swelling in the legs, around the eyes, frothy urine, high blood pressure, dark-colored urine, and/or a reduction in urine output. In other cases, the patient may be completely asymptomatic, and the condition is identified during a general health screening with abnormal kidney blood and urine tests.

Causes

There are multiple diseases that cause this condition. Examples include:

  • IgA Nephropathy
  • Membranous Nephropathy
  • Minimal Change Disease
  • Focal Segmental Glomerulosclerosis
  • Lupus Nephritis
  • Post-infectious Glomerulonephritis
Diagnosis

As noted, patients may have dramatic symptoms or may be completely asymptomatic. Blood and urine tests may hint at a diagnosis of glomerulonephritis:

  • Elevated creatinine level – may or may not be present
  • Protein in the urine – may vary depending on the cause, from absent to severe
  • Red blood cells in the urine – present in certain forms of glomerulonephritis
  • White blood cells in the urine – present in certain forms of glomerulonephritis

Typically, a kidney biopsy is required to establish the diagnosis, cause, and prognosis of glomerulonephritis. The biopsy is crucial in helping guide treatment.

Treatment

Treatment options are entirely dependent on the specific cause and form of glomerulonephritis. It may vary from simple conservative management that involves blood pressure control and intermittent monitoring to aggressive management in more severe cases where patients need strong medications and certain procedures to control the process.

I would have given 10 stars to Dr Pallavi. Both me and my wife have been patients of Dr. Pallavi for more than 6 years now. She supported us throughout—before, during, and after our transplant. Dr. Pallavi has been much more than a doctor to both of us, probably a "health mentor" through all these years. While Dr. is excellent from a clinical standpoint, more impressive is her ability to listen to the patient and engage in a very pleasant and positive conversation to ensure that the (already tense) patient is at ease. I have personally seen her nephrology department grow in the hospital. All the best, Doc.............you are doing a wonderful job.
