	AllRefer Health - Chronic Glomerulonephritis (Chronic Nephritis, Glomerulonephritis - Chronic)
		Chronic glomerulonephritis is the advanced stage of a group of kidney disorders, resulting in inflammation and gradual, progressive destruction of the glomeruli (internal kidney structures).
		Glomerulonephritis is among the leading causes of chronic renal failure and end stage renal disease.
		With kidney biopsy, it may be possible to reach a precise diagnosis such as membranous glomerulonephritis, IgA nephropathy (Berger's disease), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, mesangial proliferative disorder, diabetic nephropathy/sclerosis, lupus nephritis, or nephritis associated with disorders such as amyloidosis, multiple myeloma, or immune disorders including AIDS.

	Glomerulonephritis
		There are other conditions that cause glomerulonephritis and swelling in the kidneys such as infection, tumour growth, or disease within the kidney from long-term use of NSAIDs (non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) such as aspirin.
		Glomerulonephritis is also recognised as a serious complication of some other infections including AIDS/HIV, Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, TB and syphilis.
		If glomerulonephritis is suspected, the doctor may take a throat swab (scraping some cells from the back of your throat) a sample of to confirm the diagnosis.

	Glomerulonephritis
		Glomerulonephritis is an inflammation of the kidney’s filtering mechanisms, called the glomeruli.
		Glomerulonephritis can be acute, which means it occurs suddenly, or chronic, meaning symptoms develop gradually and continue over a number of years.
		While chronic glomerulonephritis occurs as a symptom of certain diseases, its cause is not known.

	MedlinePlus Medical Encyclopedia: Glomerulonephritis
		Glomerulonephritis is a type of kidney disease caused by inflammation of the internal kidney structures (glomeruli), which help filter waste and fluids from the blood.
		Glomerulonephritis may be caused by specific problems with the body's immune system, but the precise cause of some cases is unknown.
		Glomerulonephritis can cause high blood pressure and may only be discovered as a cause of high blood pressure that is difficult to control.

	Glomerulopathy (glomerulonephritis) (GN) ,VM 552 SAM Urogenital System (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-22)
		Although the disease begins in the glomeruli, as time progresses, if the glomerular disease is not reversed, the tubular portions of the nephron will also show signs of disease.
		The term glomerulonephritis is analogous to dermatitis or enteritis in that an anatomical area is specified but the cause of the abnormality is not implied.
		Because glomerular lesions in many patients are not associated with an inflammatory response, the less specific term, glomerulopathy, provides a more accurate collective description of glomerular disease than does glomerulonephritis.

	Acute Glomerulonephritis (AGN) - nephrologychannel
		Acute glomerulonephritis (AGN) is active inflammation in the glomeruli.
		In diffuse glomerulonephritis (GN), all of the glomeruli are aggressively attacked, leading to acute renal failure (ARF).
		Patients with acute glomerulonephritis (AGN) have an active urinary sediment.

		Glomerulonephritis is a type of kidney disease that involves the glomeruli.
		Glomerulonephritis can also result from a gene on the X chromosome passed on from carrier mothers who have no features, or minimal features of the problem, to their sons, who are affected with the disorder in 50 percent of the cases.
		In children, a common cause of glomerulonephritis is from a streptococcal infection, such as strep throat or upper respiratory infection.

	Glomerulonephritis and Allergies/Good Dog! Nov/Dec 1999
		Specifically, glomerulonephritis means inflammation of the glomerulus, small tuft-like arrangements of the blood vessels that are essential to the blood-filtering function of the kidneys.
		Glomerulonephritis occurs commonly in dogs: 43% to 90% of randomly selected dogs in various studies were shown to be affected.
		Scientists think a potential association between allergies and glomerulonephritis could then be established by comparing the presence of both diseases in the canine population at large, and the prevalence of glomerulonephritis in dogs with food allergies as compared to the prevalence in dogs with no allergies.

	Rapidly Progressive (Crescentic) Glomerulonephritis - Health Centers
		Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis is a form of kidney disease that causes damage to the internal structures of the kidneys and rapid loss of function, with crescent-shaped abnormalities showing on a biopsy of the kidney.
		Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis includes any type of glomerulonephritis (inflammation of the glomerulus) in which progressive loss of kidney function occurs over weeks to months.
		Without treatment, crescentic glomerulonephritis often progresses to kidney failure and end-stage renal (kidney) disease in 6 months or less, although a few cases may just go away on their own.

		Glomerulonephritis (glo-mer-u-lo-nuh-FRI-tis) is a type of kidney disease that hampers your kidneys' ability to remove waste and excess fluids.
		Glomerulonephritis may develop after a strep infection in your throat or, rarely, on your skin (impetigo).
		Treatment and outcome of glomerulonephritis depend on whether you have an acute or chronic form of the disease, on the underlying cause, and on the type and severity of your signs and symptoms.

		Glomerulonephritis is inflammation of the filtering units of the kidneys, which are called glomeruli.
		Acute postinfectious glomerulonephritis — This form of glomerulonephritis follows an infection and often causes high blood pressure, dark urine, water retention and swelling because of kidney failure.
		When glomerulonephritis has slowed the amount of urine a person is producing, he or she may be given medications called diuretics, which help the body to rid itself of excess water and salt by producing more urine.

	Glomerulonephritis - VeterinaryPartner.com - a VIN company!
		In glomerulonephritis, it is chronic inflammation that leads to the holes in the filtration system.
		Only a biopsy of the kidney can determine which is present; however, in amyloidosis (where the kidney is infiltrated by a malignant abnormal protein called amyloid) prognosis is so poor and the progression of disease so rapid that response to treatment can suggest which condition is present.
		Glomerulonephritis can also be what is called idiopathic, which means that despite searching, the underlying cause cannot be found.

		During glomerulonephritis, the glomeruli become inflamed and impair the kidney's ability to filter urine.
		If glomerulonephritis is caused by a streptococcal infection, then treatment will be focused on curing the infection and treating the symptoms associated with the infection.
		Unfortunately, glomerulonephritis caused by a different reason cannot be cured.
