Possible manifestations: It may present with the presence of protein or blood in the urine, swelling in the legs or eyelids, foamy urine and, in some cases, elevated blood pressure.
When to seek care? An evaluation is advisable in the face of blood in the urine, persistent swelling or laboratory results that suggest kidney involvement.
Which specialist treats it? Its study falls to the nephrologist, and in minors to the pediatric nephrologist; the clinical laboratory and the gastroenterologist may support the diagnostic process.
