Differential Diagnosis
The clinical differentiation between nephritic and nephrotic syndromes is crucial to establish the proper differential diagnosis, for appropriate management, and for prognosis.
The following table summarizes the key differences between nephrotic syndrome and nephritic syndrome:
| Clinical Feature | Nephritic Syndrome | Nephrotic Syndrome |
| Hematuria | Yes | Yes / No |
| Proteinuria | < 3.5 g/24 hrs | > 3.5 g/24hrs |
| Red Cell Casts | Yes | No |
| Hypoalbuminemia | Yes / No | Yes |
| Hypertension | Yes | Yes / No |
| Progression | Insidious | Abrupt |
