Study Notes
Glomerulonephritis
- A characteristic of glomerulonephritis is hematuria (blood in the urine)
Nephritic Syndrome
- A common symptom of nephritic syndrome is hypertension (high blood pressure)
- Nephritic syndrome is often associated with oliguria (decreased urine output)
- A potential consequence of nephritic syndrome is chronic kidney disease (CKD)
Nephrotic Syndrome
- A symptom specifically associated with nephrotic syndrome is edema (swelling) due to proteinuria (excess protein in the urine)
Difference between Nephritic and Nephrotic Syndrome
- A key difference between nephritic syndrome and nephrotic syndrome is the presence of proteinuria, which is more prominent in nephrotic syndrome
