In a nephrotic syndrome, a group of manifestations occur, such as protein in the urine, edema, low count of albumin in the blood, and lastly too much lipids or fats circulating in the blood. In a nephritic syndrome, all of these occur plus there is hematuria or blood in the urine. Nephrotic syndrome is a disease of the kidney while nephritic syndrome is a disease of the glomeruli. Nephritic syndrome is also called glomerulonephritis.By contrast, nephrotic syndrome is characterized by only proteins (proteinuria) moving into the urine. Nephritic syndrome, like nephrotic syndrome, may involve hypoalbuminemia due to protein albumin moving from the blood to the urine.

the variation between nephrotic and nephritic

in nephrotic syndrome the internal structure of renes were damaged i mean nephron and glomerulus unable to filter the protiens and sodium etc

but in nephritic the renes were damaged due to the infection caused by microbial agent such as e.coli and causes haemeturia

nephrotic syndrome mostly occure in childer while nephritic occure in addults.

nephrotic syndrome involves the loss of a lot of protein, whereas nephritic syndrome involves the loss of a lot of blood.

First, let’s take nephrotic syndrome. The thing to remember for this one is massive proteinuria. You might do this by remembering that nephrotic and protein both have an “o” in them. The massive proteinuria in these patients leads to hypoalbuminemia (they are peeing out albumin!), which results in edema (the oncotic pressure in the blood goes down, and fluid leaks out of the vasculature into the surrounding tissue). So right there, you have three of the four features, just by remembering one. The cause of the last feature, hyperlipidemia/hyperlipiduria, is less well-understood, so you’re just going to have to memorize that one. As an aside, nephrotic syndrome is often more dangerous than nephritic syndrome, so you might want to think of this syndrome as the “oh sh*t” syndrome (again – nephrotic has an o in it, nephritic does not). Crude, but if it works, who cares?

In nephritic syndrome, there is some proteinuria and edema, but it’s not nearly as severe as in nephrotic syndrome. The thing with nephritic syndrome is that the lesions causing it all have increased cellularity within the glomeruli, accompanied by a leukocytic infiltrate (hence the suffix -itic). The inflammation injures capillary walls, permitting escape of red cells into urine. Hemodynamic changes cause a decreased glomerular filtration rate (manifested clinically as oliguria and azotemia). The hypertension seen in nephritic syndrome is probably a result of fluid retention and increased renin released from ischemic kidneys.

Renal failure is a term in medicine is called in cases of kidney failure in the performance of its functions. There are two types of kidney failure and two acute renal failure, chronic renal insufficiency, kidney failure generally is a shortage in the work of the College and functions, leading to an imbalance in the human body.

The causes of kidney failure are many and varied, including: Ktlv college tissues and injuring college acute and chronic and get a feel for undesirable eating habits where the food is not balanced in terms of quantity and quality and injured body disease such as diabetes or blood pressure in addition to taking certain medications without consulting Tabah.eetm diagnosed with kidney failure clinical tests of the previous mentioned with some lab tests, such as the high rate of urea urea and creatinine in blood creatinine and the creatinine clearance of plasma level is reduced to 30 ml out of 120 ml.

Alchhas and is usually in the form of:

Blood tests: Through blood tests to stand at the level of waste materials such as urea (Urea) and creatinine (Creatinine) in addition to the degree of calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, and more. These indicators reflect the level of performance of the college
