Glomerulonephritis

Glomerulonephritis is a disease that damages the glomeruli, which are tiny filters in the kidneys that remove waste from the blood. This damage can cause protein and blood to leak into the urine, leading to symptoms such as swelling, high blood pressure, and decreased urine output. Treatment for glomerulonephritis may involve medications, lifestyle changes, and in severe cases, dialysis or kidney transplant.
