A little about the disease

First, let's figure out what kind of disease this is, glomerulonephritis, and why it appeared. Glomerulonephritis is a disease that affects both kidneys at once; the glomeruli are most affected, while the tubules and interstitial tissue remain almost untouched. The pathology is immunoinflammatory in nature and occurs as an independent disease.

Various diseases that appear quite often and regularly can help in the development of glomerulonephritis:

• hemorrhagic vasculitis;
• infective endocarditis;
• systemic lupus erythematosus.

Based on the name of the nature of the disease, it follows that the pathology manifests itself (at least in the vast majority of cases) due to an overly active reaction of the immune system to various infections.

There is also an autoimmune form of the disease; it develops due to the fact that the body’s antibodies begin to affect its own liver cells, destroying them.

There are several viruses (written in Latin) and diseases that can cause glomerulonephritis:

• "trench" jade;
• Neisseria meningitidis;
• Staphylococcus aureus;
• Streptococcus pneumoniae;
• Toxoplasma gondii;
• angina;
• chicken pox;
• measles;
• ARVI;
• pneumonia;
• scarlet fever;
• streptoderma;
• tonsillitis.
