• Leg Edema

  Symptoms of acute nephritic syndrome include: Edema in the face and legs: Edema is the accumulation of fluids in the body, usually under the skin, leading to a puffy appearance. [ada.com]

  Treatment usually focuses on reducing high cholesterol, blood pressure, leg swelling and protein in urine – through diet and medication. [kidneycareuk.org]

Renal ultrasound may be ordered as part of the workup for acute renal failure, however, there are no pathognomonic signs for AIN on ultrasound. F. Over-utilized or “wasted” diagnostic tests associated with this diagnosis. [clinicaladvisor.com]

(See Etiology, Workup.) The term nephritis is also applied to a group of unrelated inflammatory disorders known collectively as tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN). TIN initially affects mainly the interstitium and renal tubules. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Diagnosis of Nephrotic Syndrome Because of these considerations, our recommendations for the initial workup of adults with nephrotic syndrome are outlined in Table 6. [jamanetwork.com]

Treatment for Acute Glomerulonephritis (AGN) The goal of treatment is to stop the ongoing inflammation and lessen the degree of scarring that ensues. Depending on the diagnosis, there are different treatment strategies. [healthcommunities.com]

The goal of treatment is to reduce inflammation in the kidney and control high blood pressure. [stlukes-stl.com]

The goal of treatment is to reduce glomerular inflammation. [medical-dictionary-search-engines.com]

Treatment The goal of treatment is to reduce inflammation in the kidney and control high blood pressure. You may need to stay in a hospital to be diagnosed and treated. [account.allinahealth.org]

The prognosis depends on the underlying disease and the overall health of the patient. The occurrence of cardiopulmonary or neurologic complications worsens the prognosis. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Prognosis This depends on the underlying cause. The prognosis for nephritic syndrome caused by acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis in children is generally excellent. [patient.info]

Prognosis The prognosis of post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis is good. The Outcome in ANS associated with SLE, systemic vasculitis and Goodpasture’s syndrome is less favourable. [myvmc.com]

In precise usage, disease denotes the structural and etiologic disease entity whereas failure denotes the dysfunction (lack of working well, that is, impaired renal function); but in common usage these meanings overlap; for example, the terms chronic [icd.codes]

Nephritic Syndrome is a clinical syndrome that can be initiated by a number of distinct etiologies that lead to a shared pathogenic sequence. [pathwaymedicine.org]

There are genetic predispositions for familial GN (Alport, X-linked) and autoimmune etiologies (e.g., SLE-lupus nephritis). [hawaii.edu]
