Glomerulonephritis refers to a range of inflammatory kidney conditions of the tiny blood vessels in the kidneys, known as glomeruli. It can be acute, which means it starts suddenly, or chronic, during which the onset is gradual.

The remaining products are eliminated in the urine. Renal insufficiency or failure occurs when the kidneys can no longer remove toxic wastes from the body. These substances build up and symptoms of excess thirst, nausea, pain, weakness, appetite loss, intestinal bleeding and even seizures develop.

Fast facts on chronic kidney disease Common symptoms include blood in urine, high blood pressure, and fatigue. Causes include diabetes and specific kidney diseases, which includes polycystic kidney disease.

The glomeruli of the kidney help filter wastes and fluids from the blood to form urine. Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) is a form of glomerulonephritis caused by an abnormal immune response. Deposits of antibodies build up in a part of the kidneys called the glomerular basement membrane.

Conditions likely to cause scarring of the glomeruli Glomerulonephritis can also lead to high blood pressure because it reduces kidney function and can influence how your kidneys handle sodium.

There are many causes of kidney problems. Causes of kidney disease, for example, can include physical injury, infection, cysts in the kidneys, the backward flow of urine from the bladder and hereditary causes. The kidneys can also be damaged by misuse of some painkillers, prescription medicines and illegal drugs.
