Glomerulonephritis

Glomerulonephritis (GN) is glomeruli inflammation, which are structures in the kidneys that are made up of tiny blood vessels. These knots of vessels help to filter the blood and remove excess fluids. When the glomeruli are damaged, then kidneys will stop working properly, and can lead to kidney failure. It is also called nephritis, GN it is a serious illness that can be life-threatening and requires immediate treatment. GN can be both acute, or sudden, and chronic, or long-term. This condition used to be known as Bright's disease. Glomerulonephritis occurs on its own or as part of another disease, such as lupus or diabetes. Severe or prolonged inflammation associated with glomerulonephritis can damage kidneys. Treatment depends on the type of glomerulonephritis. There are two types of glomerulonephritis acute and chronic. The acute form develops suddenly. You may get it after an infection in your throat or on your skin. Sometimes, you may get better on your own. Other times, your kidneys may stop working unless the right treatment is started quickly.
