Glomerulonephritis Chronic – Diagnosis and Symptoms
Chronic Glomerulonephritis is a word that refers to a group of disorders that affect the glomeruli in the kidneys. The glomeruli are the component of the kidney responsible for blood filtering. As a result, this condition impairs the kidney’s ability to cleanse the blood and eliminate extra fluids.
As the body generates waste and excess fluids, the kidney’s job is to remove such waste from the blood. If this sickness is not treated, it might progress to kidney failure.
Glomerulonephritis is classified into two types: acute and chronic. Acute Glomerulonephritis manifests itself very abruptly; chronic Glomerulonephritis manifests itself slowly and gradually over time.
While the symptoms of Acute Glomerulonephritis are immediately obvious, those of Chronic Glomerulonephritis become more noticeable as the disease progresses in the kidneys.
Chronic Glomerulonephritis presents with the following symptoms:
- Urine protein or blood
- Hypertension
- Ankle or facial swelling
- Frequent urination at night
- Urine that is extremely bubbling or foamy
