Glomerulonephritis
Inflammation of the kidney’s smallest filtering units (glomeruli) is called glomerulonephritis, but may also be referred to as nephritis or nephrotic syndrome. The inflammation and damage within the kidneys, as a result of glomerulonephritis, is often seen as a result of an autoimmune disease.

syndrome. The inflammation and damage within the kidneys, as a result of glomerulonephritis, is often seen as a result of an autoimmune disease.
Common autoimmune diseases include Lupus, Goodpasture’s Syndrome, and Wegener’s Syndrome. These disorders can contribute to loss of kidney function via disease-specific damage within the kidney.
Symptoms of glomerulonephritis could include:
-
- High blood pressure (hypertension)
- Hematuria (blood in the urine)
- Foamy or frothy urine
- Proteinuria (protein in the urine)
