Glomerulonephritis is a kidney condition caused by infections, certain medications, autoimmune diseases, and underlying conditions such as diabetes or hypertension.
How do high blood pressure and blood sugar affect my kidneys?
Prolonged high blood pressure and high blood sugar levels damage the blood vessels and filtering units in the kidneys, impairing its ability to function properly which can lead to kidney disease and other complications.
What is Acute Kidney Injury (AKI)?
Acute kidney injury (AKI) is a condition where kidney function suddenly declines, often within hours or days, leading to the accumulation of waste products and fluid imbalances.
What are the symptoms of glomerulonephritis?
Symptoms of glomerulonephritis may include inflammation, high blood pressure, blood in the urine, and foamy urine due to excess protein.
What is the long-term management for kidney diseases?
Long-term management of kidney diseases involves regular follow-up with your doctors to monitor and maintain optimal kidney health. Effective management can slow or prevent the progression of kidney disease.
