Detailed description
The glomeruli are the blood filters of the kidneys. As blood passes through, the glomeruli retain blood cells and proteins while filtering out excess water and waste products. Hereditary glomerular disease refers to a group of diseases that are inherited within families, where the structure and function of the glomeruli are damaged, leading to various types of diseases. Different types of these diseases share similar symptoms, such as hematuria, proteinuria (foamy urine), edema, and decreased urine output.
