Diagnosis As many people have no symptoms, it may take a routine check-up or tests linked to hypertension or fatigue to reveal glomerulonephritis. Diagnosis can be difficult, as the causes are often unknown.[medicalnewstoday.com]
In many cases, CKD leads to kidneyfailure. What are kidneyfailure and end-stage renal disease? Kidneyfailure is the acute or chronic loss of 85 percent or more kidney function.[niddk.nih.gov]
Treatment or management of the early stages of kidneyfailure depends on the disease causing the damage.[kidneyhealthcare.com]
Sometimes you may need medication or temporary treatment with an artificial kidney machine to remove extra fluid, control high blood pressure and treat kidneyfailure.[kidney.org]
In most of these cases it ends in kidneyfailure. Glomerular disease may lead to total loss of kidney function, either rapidly or, more commonly, in a slowly progressive fashion over many years.[news-medical.net]
The pathophysiology of glomerular diseases is complex; most patients present with either nephritic syndrome (low-level proteinuria, microhematuria, oliguria, and hypertension ) or nephrotic syndrome (high-level proteinuria and generalized edema ).[amboss.com]
