Diseases & Conditions A-Z
Acute glomerulonephritis refers to a specific set of renal diseases in which an immunologic mechanism triggers inflammation and proliferation of glomerular tissue.
Glomerulonephritis - chronic; Chronic nephritis
Definition of Chronic glomerulonephritis: ...
Glomerulonephritis is an inflammation of the glomeruli (small blood vessels) in the kidneys.
Interstitial nephritis is an inflammation of the spaces between renal tubules.
Chronic glomerulonephritis causes destruction of the glomeruli in the kidneys. Each glomerulus is made up of blood vessels that filter the blood and help to produce urine.

Poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis mostly affects children, who are prone to Streptococcus infections. These bacteria are a common cause of sore throat, sometimes called strep throat. They can also cause skin infections known as impetigo.
Glomerulonephritis is a rare complication
