About Nephritis

Nephritis is the inflammation of kidney which causes impaired kidney function. It also involves swelling of glomeruli, tubules or interstitial tissues. In nephritis, the filtering unit of kidney called glomeruli functions improperly, often as a result of bacterial infections. Not all the glomeruli are damaged to the same degree, however, so the kidneys can continue to function. Sometimes the kidneys may already be affected before the symptoms appears.

Every day kidneys filter about 150 lt. of blood to produce about 1 to 2 lt of urine, composed of wastes and extra fluid. The urine flows from the kidneys to the bladder through ureters. The bladder stores urine. When the bladder empties, urine flows out of the body through a tube called the urethra, located at the bottom of the bladder.

Kidney is consists of a million filtering units called nephrons. The nephron is comprised of glomerulus and a tubule. The glomerulus lets fluid and waste product pass through it but prevents blood cells and large molecules from passing. The filtered fluid then passes through the tubule, which sends essential minerals back to the bloodstream and removes wastes. The final product becomes urine.

Depending to the locations of inflammation, nephritis can be classified as follows:

  • Acute nephritis
  • Chronic nephritis
  • Glomerulonephritis
  • Primary glomerulonephritis
  • Autoimmune nephritis
  • Lupus nephritis
