Acute Nephritic Syndrome
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Acute nephritic syndrome is a set of signs that reflect inflammation of the small filters of the kidney, the glomeruli, and that appears relatively rapidly.
Common symptoms: It usually presents with swelling, especially in the face and legs, dark or reddish urine, a decrease in the amount of urine, and elevated blood pressure.
When to see a doctor? In the presence of unexplained swelling or noticeable changes in the color or amount of urine, the prudent thing is to seek care to study kidney function.
Which specialist treats it? The nephrologist studies this condition, and in children the pediatric nephrologist takes part along with the pediatrician, who can guide the most appropriate follow-up.
