Nephritic syndrome causes are usually grouped into 'focal proliferative' and 'diffuse proliferative' on the basis of [[histology]] (obtained by a renal biopsy).
Age plays an important role in identifying the cause of nephritic syndrome. Nonetheless, age should not be the only factor in defining the etiology of nephritic syndrome.


===Focal proliferative===
*[[IgA nephropathy]]
*[[chronic liver failure]]
*[[Celiac sprue]]
*[[dermatitis herpetiformis]]
*[[Henoch-Schoenlein purpura]]
*[[Alport syndrome]]
*[[lupus erythematosus|SLE]]
===Diffuse proliferative===
*[[focal segmental glomerulosclerosis|focal glomerulosclerosis]]
*membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis ([[malaria]], [[hepatitis B]], [[hepatitis C]], chronic infection, [[sickle-cell disease]], [[lupus erythematosus|SLE]], hemolytic uremic syndrome / [[thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura]])
*[[cryoglobulinemia]]
*[[lupus erythematosus|SLE]]
*[[rapidly progressing glomerulonephritis]] (RPGNs) - several.
