Etiology

A. Rapid Progressive GN (Crescentic GN)

B. Alport Syndrome; X-linked / supportive

C. Membranoproliferative GN + nephrotic/nephritic

Signs and symptoms

  • Proteinuria < 3.5g nephritic range

  • Acanthocytes: deformed RBCs in urine

  • Hematuria

  • Hypertension

  • Oliguria

  • Azotemia

  • Sterile pyuria

  • Nephritic Syndrome is characterized by inflammation, hematuria, and hypertension, with mild proteinuria.

    • Often associated with immune-mediated diseases such as post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis, IgA nephropathy, lupus nephritis, and rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis.
  • Nephrotic Syndrome is characterized by massive proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, severe edema, and hyperlipidemia, without significant inflammation.

    • Can be caused by conditions like minimal change disease, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), membranous nephropathy, and diabetic nephropathy.
