kidney anatomy, glomerulonephritis, acute, acute glomerulonephritis, nephritis syndrome, acute, acute nephritic syndrome, group of disorders that cause inflammation, the internal kidney structures, specifically, glomeruli, acute nephritic syndrome, an immune response triggered, infection, casues seen more frequently in children, adolescents, iga nephropathy, henoch-schonlein purpura, hemolytic uremic syndrome, post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis, associated diseases seen more frequently in adults, sle, lupus nephritis, membranoproliferative gn i, membranoproliferative gn ii, infective endocarditis, vasculitis, rapidly progressive, crescentic, glomerulonephritis, goodpasture's syndrome, klebsiella pneumonia, abdominal abscesses, viral diseases mononucleosis, measles, mumps, typhoid fever, hepatitis, syphilis, sexually transmitted diseases, inflammation disrupts the functioning, the glomerulus, the kidney that controls filtering, excretion, inefficient functioning results in blood, protein appearing, in the urine, accumulation of excess fluid, swelling results, protein is lost, blood stream, protein maintains fluid, the blood vessels, lost the fluid collects, in the tissues, urine discoloration results from blood, in the urine, occurs, loss of blood, the damaged glomeruli, acute nephritic syndrome associated, the development of high blood pressure, interstitial inflammation, inflammation, the spaces between the cells, the kidney tissue, acute kidney failure, despite the diversity of diseases that cause acute nephritis below, share many symptoms in common, blood, in the urine, urine appears dark, tea colored, cloudy, decreased urine volume, no urine produced, swelling, facial swelling, swelling around the eye socket, arms, hands, feet, legs, dependent edema, abdomen, generalized, general aches, pains, joint pain, muscle aches, general ill feeling, malaise, headache, blurred vision, sluggish, lethargic movement, late symptoms, seizures, decreased alertness, drowsiness, confusion, nausea, vomiting, easy bruising, bleeding, cough containing mucus, pink, frothy material coughed up, difficulty breathing, at night, lying, from exercise, flank pain, high blood pressure, blood pressure elevated, signs of fluid overload, fluid in circulation than the heart, effectively pump, abnormal heart, lung sounds, jugular, neck, veins distended from increased pressure, generalized swelling, examining abdomen, find signs of fluid overload, an enlarged liver, signs of acute kidney failure in addition, above symptoms, urinalysis, protein, renal tubular cells, blood, white blood cells, casts, protein, in the urine test positive, urine appearance, color, abnormal, azotemia, nitrogen-containing waste products, in the blood, evidenced, elevated bun, elevated creatinine, creatinine clearance decreased, a potassium test elevated, a kidney biopsy reveals glomerulonephritis, inflammation, the glomeruli, indicate the cause, the acute nephritic syndrome, culture, the throat, skin, blood culture, ana titer, lupus, serum complement, c3, c4, anca, antinutrophil cytoplasmic antibody, vasculitis, anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody, goal of treatment, reduce glomerular inflammation, hospitalization, diagnosis, treatment of many forms of acute nephritic syndrome, must be identified, antibiotics, medications, bedrest recommended, diet, restriction of salt, fluids, potassium, medications, anti-hypertensive medications to control high blood pressure, corticosteroids, anti-inflammatory medications, reduce inflammation, treatment of acute kidney failure appropriate, information, kidney disease support groups, probable outcome is variable, depends on the disease responsible, the nephritis, improvement occurs, symptoms associated, fluid retention, swelling, cough, high blood pressure, resolve, week, two, urine tests take months to return to normal, children tend to, better than adults, recover completely, they develop complications, progress to chronic glomerulonephritis, adults, not recover quite, rapidly, children, recurrence is unusual, at least one-third of adults whose acute nephritic syndrome recurs, eventually develop end-stage kidney disease, acute kidney failure, chronic kidney failure, end-stage kidney disease, high blood pressure, congestive heart failure, pulmonary edema, chronic glomerulonephritis, nephrotic syndrome, suggestive of acute nephritic syndrome develop, disorder cannot be prevented, treatment of illness, infection, help to reduce the risk.
