Understanding Your Results
Glomerulonephritis
Inflammation of the kidney's glomeruli, often due to immune disorders
Nephrotic Syndrome
Characterized by high proteinuria and damage to kidney filtration units
Membranous Nephropathy
Thickening of glomerular basement membrane, common in autoimmune conditions
Interstitial Nephritis
Inflammation of kidney tubules and surrounding tissue, often drug-induced
Acute Tubular Necrosis
Damage to kidney tubules, usually from ischemia or toxins
Consult a nephrologist immediately if you experience symptoms like persistent swelling, blood in urine, severe fatigue, or difficulty breathing, as these may indicate underlying kidney issues requiring diagnosis.
