Glomerulonephritis is a condition where the tiny filters in the kidneys become inflamed. This affects the kidneys' ability to remove waste and excess fluids from the blood. Early diagnosis and proper care can help prevent long term kidney damage.
The kidneys contain small filtering units called glomeruli that clean the blood. When these filters become inflamed, they do not work properly, leading to waste build up in the body.
Glomerulonephritis can develop suddenly or slowly over time. In many cases, it may not show symptoms in the early stages.
At Dr Vijay Thanaraj Kidney Care in Thoothukudi, patients receive complete evaluation, diagnosis, and treatment for kidney inflammation conditions. Early care helps protect kidney function and reduce complications.
The glomeruli become inflamed and lose their filtering ability.
The condition may appear quickly or progress over time.
Urine and blood tests can identify the condition at an early stage.
Underlying causes such as infections or immune conditions can be managed effectively.
Glomerulonephritis can occur due to several medical conditions that cause inflammation in the kidneys.
Common causes include autoimmune diseases, infections such as throat or skin infections, diabetes, high blood pressure. Other causes may include immune system disorders or unknown factors.
