Glomerulonefritis
Also known as: Upala bubrežnih glomerula
Glomerulonefritis je imunosno uvjetovana upala filtracijskih jedinica bubrega, glomerula, koja dovodi do gubitka bjelančevina mokraćom. Trajni gubitak bjelančevina može uzrokovati smanjenje razine albumina u krvi, zadržavanje tekućine, visok krvni tlak i opasne krvne ugruške, a može napredovati do zatajenja bubrega. Često je izazvan kroničnom infektivnom, upalnom ili tumorskom bolešću drugdje u tijelu.
