Rapidly Progressive Glomerulonephritis with Pulmonary Hemorrhage
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis with pulmonary hemorrhage is a serious condition in which the filters of the kidney, called glomeruli, become inflamed at an accelerated rate, while bleeding occurs in the lungs. This combination compromises two vital organs and requires careful attention.
Signs to watch for: Changes in the urine, swelling, high blood pressure, difficulty breathing, or coughing up blood.
Which specialist treats it? The nephrologist evaluates kidney function and, in children, the pediatric nephrologist; the internist usually coordinates care when several organs are involved.
When to seek care? When kidney and respiratory symptoms appear together and advance rapidly, it is essential to seek professional evaluation without delay.
