GLOMERULONEPHRITIS
Clinical manifestations

-
• Retention of waste products, sodium and water resulting in the presence of oedema

-
Pathophysiology
-
• The antigen-antibody complexes in the circulation stimulates inflammation which results in the damage of the kidney
• When the glomerulus is injured its membrane porosity is increased allowing protein and RBC to filter through with the glomerular filtrate into the renal tubules resulting in proteinuria and haematuria
Health Teachings
-
-
Encourage to have follow-up check-ups and monitoring even after recovery of protein in urine, high blood pressure
