Pulmonary-Renal Syndrome
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
Pulmonary-renal syndrome is a rare condition in which the kidneys and lungs are affected at the same time, generally by an immune process that inflames and damages both organs. It usually requires careful attention because of its impact on two vital systems.
Signs that may appear: cough, difficulty breathing, coughing up blood, changes in the urine and swelling.
When is it urgent? In the face of difficulty breathing, blood when coughing or a significant reduction in urine, care must be immediate.
Which specialist treats it? The nephrologist, and the pediatric nephrologist in children, coordinate the evaluation of the kidney component, frequently in collaboration with other specialists. Because of its complexity, this syndrome benefits from early medical evaluation and close follow-up.
