Article Excerpts about Glomerular Disease
Many diseases affect kidney function by attacking the tiny units within the kidney where blood is cleaned. Glomerular diseases include many conditions with a variety of genetic and environmental causes, but they fall into two major categories:
- Glomerulonephritis (gloh-MAIR-yoo-loh-neh-FRY-tis) describes the
inflammation of the membrane tissue in the kidney that serves as a
filter, separating wastes and extra fluid from the blood.
- Glomerulosclerosis (gloh-MAIR-yoo-loh-skleh-ROH-sis) describes the scarring or hardening of the tiny blood vessels within the kidney.
