Nephritic Syndrome

Ninja Nerds!

In this lecture Professor Zach Murphy will be presenting on Nephritic Syndrome. We will begin this lecture by explaining the normal anatomical functions of the glomerular filtration barrier. We will then define what Nephritic Syndrome is and all of the effects that it can have on patients. We will also be discussing the causes of Nephritic syndrome including Anti GBM Disease (Good Pasture Syndrome), ANCA Vasculitis (GPA, EPA, MPA), Hereditary Nephritis (Alport Syndrome), Post-Streptococcal Glomerulonephritis, IGA Nephropathy, Lupus Nephritis, Membrano-Proliferative Glomerulonephritis. We conclude this lecture with the diagnostic approach to Nephritic Syndrome and how we can treat the complications that are a result from this disease. We hope you enjoy this lecture!
