Glomerulonephritis
May progress from one form to another:
Urinalysis findings:
Refers to: - From: rapidly progressive glomerular nephritis
- Blood
- Sterile - To: chronic glomerulonephritis
- Protein
- Inflammatory process which affects that glomerulus - To: nephrotic syndrome
- Casts
And eventually: chronic glomerulonephritis
