what are nephritic syndromes
- glomerular disorders characterized by glomerular infiltration and bleeding
symptoms of nephritic syndromes
- limited proteinuria <3.5g/day
- oliguria and azotemia
- salt retention and periorbital edema and hypertension
- RBC casts and dysmorphic RBCs in urine
biopsy of nephritic syndromes reveals
- hypercellular, inflammed glomeruli

- granular
post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis - what is seen on electron microscopy
- sub epithelial humps
post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis treatment
- supportive
rapidly progressing glomerulonephritis is what kind of syndrome
- nephritic syndrome
rapidly progressing glomerulonephritis progresses to renal failure when
- weeks to months
rapidly progressing glomerulonephritis characterized by
