Glomerular disease

Glomerular disease is a disorder of the glomerulus in the kidney.[2] It typically presents with blood or protein in urine.[2] Early in the disease there are generally no symptoms and it may be detected on routine urine testing.[2] Complications include high blood pressure and kidney failure.[2]

Causes include diabetes mellitus, auto-immune conditions and infections such as hepatitis B, hepatitis C, HIV and malaria.[2] It is diffuse if all glomeruli are affected and focal if just some.[2] Part of the glomerulus may be involved or the whole unit; segmental and global respectively.[2] The disease may be proliferative, sclerosing or necrotising.[2] Where there is mostly inflammation, it is described as glomerulonephritis, and in the absence of inflammation it is termed glomerulopathy.[3]

Males are affected more than females.[4]
