Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis Type I
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis type I is a disease of the glomeruli, the small filtering units of the kidney, in which these structures become inflamed and impair their ability to cleanse the blood. It is an uncommon form of glomerular damage.
Usual manifestations: The presence of protein or blood in the urine, swelling in the face or legs, and, at times, changes in blood pressure.
When to see a doctor? An evaluation is advisable when abnormalities in the urine or unexplained swelling are detected.
Which specialist treats it? The nephrologist is the physician who studies this kidney disease; in children the pediatric nephrologist takes part, and sometimes the internist or other professionals in the field collaborate. If you notice these signs, seeing a kidney specialist helps clarify the condition in time.
