Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Glomerulopathies are a group of diseases that affect the glomeruli, the tiny units of the kidney responsible for filtering the blood and forming urine.
How they present: Depending on the type, you may notice swelling in the legs, face or eyelids, foamy or bloody urine, and elevated blood pressure; in other cases they are detected in routine tests.
When to see a doctor? It is advisable to seek care in the face of swelling with no clear cause, changes in the appearance or amount of the urine, or abnormal results in kidney tests.
Which specialist treats it? The nephrologist is the specialist who studies and follows glomerulopathies, often in coordination with the internist. Detecting them in time through a professional evaluation is key to caring for kidney function.
