Overview
The clinical differentiation between nephritic and nephrotic syndromes is crucial to establish the proper differential diagnosis and determine the appropriate management. In addition, the clinical history and prognosis of nephritic syndrome is different from that of nephrotic syndrome.
Differential Diagnosis
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 |
