Description:
Membranous Nephropathy is a kidney disorder resulting in impaired renal function because of inflammation of the glomerulus and changes in the glomerular basement membrane. Functioning renal glomeruli filter the blood.
In this disease it will also appear as a symptom of protein excretion in the urine. Glomerular filtration rate (speed of blood purification) is usually nearly normal, and examination of sediment in the urine may be mediocre or may show oval fat bodies, and hyaline, rough, and fatty casts.
Membranous nephropathy is one type of kidney disease are not known for certain of its origins, medical experts predict that this disease may be related to other conditions. Risks include systemic disorders such as Hepatitis B, malaria, malignant solid tumors, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, systemic lupus erythematosus, syphilis, and others. Risks also include exposure to substances or medications, including gold, mercury, penicillamine, trimethadione, skin whitening cream, and others.
Symptom
Common symptoms are swelling of the body, foamy urine, decreased appetite, excessive urination at night, high blood pressure. These symptoms are varied and in many cases there are no symptoms at all.
Treatment
The goal of treatment is to minimize symptoms and slow disease progression. Symptoms should be treated as appropriate.
