Detailed description
The kidneys are the most important organs in the urinary system, and the glomeruli and renal tubules are their two most crucial structures.
When kidney tissue develops an inflammatory response due to various etiologies, it leads to structural and functional damage, triggering different types of nephritis and causing abnormalities in the body's metabolic processes. If nephritis persists for a long time, it can progress to chronic renal failure.
Common types of nephritis include:
Glomerulonephritis: including acute glomerulonephritis, rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, and chronic glomerulonephritis.
Interstitial nephritis: including acute interstitial nephritis and chronic interstitial nephritis.
Lupus nephritis
IgA nephropathy
