Q

What is the difference between nephritic and nephrotic? What is the proteinuria cut off?

A

nephritIc is for INFLAMMATION/IMMUNE and the urine sediment tends to be heavier on the bleeding (hematuria) +/- RBC casts

LESS than 3 grams is nephritic and MORE than 3 grams is nephrotic

Nephrotic: think PROTEIN in the urine, more than 3 grams with “bland” urine sediment
