What are the basic classification of glomerulonephritis?

What are the basic classification of glomerulonephritis? Do you know what glomerulonephritis is? For patients with doubt, we please xian tongji hospital experts to answer for patients with friends.
Glomerular nephritis can be mainly has the following categories:
1, according to the basic types can be divided into primary glomerulonephritis and secondary glomerulonephritis.
The independence of the primary glomerulonephritis is primary in kidney disease, mainly involving the kidney pathological changes. Secondary glomerulonephritis is caused by other diseases, kidney disease is a part of systemic diseases.
Primary glomerular nephritis can be divided into four kinds of (1) minor glomerular lesions; (2) focal segmental lesions; (3) diffuse glomerular nephritis; (4) unclassified glomerulonephritis.
And secondary glomerulonephritis can be divided into three (1) with lupus glomerulonephritis; (2) purpura glomerular nephritis; (3) diabetic nephropathy. In addition, vascular lesions such as high blood pressure; Metabolic diseases such as diabetes can cause glomerular lesions. (note: glomerulonephritis if not mentioned in the general clinical description often refers to the primary glomerulonephritis.)
2, according to general type of points can be divided into acute glomerulonephritis and chronic glomerulonephritis.
The chronic glomerulonephritis according to pathological points and can be divided into (1) mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis. (2) chronic diffuse glomerular nephritis; (3) membranous nephropathy; (4) membrane hyperplastic glomerular nephritis; (5) focal segmental glomerular nephritis.
3, according to clinical classification standards can be divided into: acute glomerulonephritis, the accelerated glomerular nephritis, chronic glomerular nephritis, nephrotic syndrome, occult glomerulonephritis.
1. Acute glomerulonephritis (hereinafter referred to as acute nephritis)
Is a kind of caused by allergy after infection kidneys diffuse glomerular damage of acute disease, the disease is characterized by more urgent, in 1 ~ 3 weeks after infection, tube type of urine, hematuria, albuminuria edema, oliguria, high blood pressure, etc. Series of clinical manifestations.
2. The chronic glomerulonephritis (referred to as chronic nephritis)
Caused by all kinds of primary glomerular disease is a group leader progression (even decades) with proteinuria, hematuria, edema, high blood pressure for the clinical manifestations of the disease. The disease is common, especially in young male high incidence in young adults. Most of the disease treatment is difficult, gradual for chronic renal failure, and poor prognosis. Chronic glomerulonephritis is a group of glomerular disease caused by a variety of causes.
In clinical proteinuria, hematuria, edema, hypertension, etc. Degree is different, but each cases patients with edema as starting symptoms, light person only morning eyelid and facial swelling, afternoon lower extremity edema, slightly after a rest in the short term can disappear. Some patients with increased blood pressure as the first symptoms, then found that chronic glomerulonephritis.
Chronic glomerulonephritis late can develop into renal insufficiency and renal failure, can appear in patients with anemia, heart failure, etc. Its mainly by renal parenchyma damage, erythropoiesis and malnutrition. Such as anemia, and heart failure severity is proportional to the kidney disease and renal impairment.
The etiology of chronic glomerulonephritis, acute glomerulonephritis in delay more than a year to be converted into chronic glomerulonephritis.
What are the basic classification of glomerulonephritis? Through the above related introduction, believe everybody now had certain understanding to its, if you want to know more information, can be directly consulting xian tongji hospital online experts, experts will be detailed answers for you.
