Brief description of pathological types of nephrotic syndrome

For patients with nephrotic syndrome, the treatment of nephrotic syndrome should be strengthened. Before treatment, patients should understand the pathology of nephrotic syndrome, which is very useful for the treatment of nephrotic syndrome. Below, I will provide a detailed introduction.

1. Minimally variant nephritis

This type of nephrotic syndrome is characterized by the fusion of glomerular epithelial cells and foot processes, with a concealed onset and generally occurring in children and adolescents. The clinical manifestation is primary nephrotic syndrome type I. Microscopic hematuria<20%~25%, absolutely no macroscopic hematuria.

2. Mesangial proliferative nephritis

This type of nephrotic syndrome is more common in adolescents, with no previous infection, insidious onset, and acute onset. It is often accompanied by hematuria and mild to moderate hypertension.

3. Membranous nephropathy

This type of nephrotic syndrome usually occurs after the age of 35. It is insidious at the beginning of the disease, accounting for about 30% of adult nephrotic syndrome. The disease progresses slowly, and renal vein thrombosis is prone to occur, and gross hematuria is rare.

4. Membranous proliferative nephritis

For patients with this type of nephrotic syndrome, it usually occurs before the age of 30, with precursor infections and acute onset. Almost all patients have microscopic hematuria, progressive decline in renal function, and about one-third of patients have hypertension.

The above introduces the pathological types of nephrotic syndrome. For patients, it is necessary to strengthen their understanding of nephrotic syndrome knowledge and constantly control their condition, which is very useful for the treatment of nephrotic syndrome.
