Overview
Acute nephritic syndrome may be differentiated according to the etiology of renal disease. Acute nephritis may be classified based on renal vs. non-renal etiology. Similarly, acute nephritis may be classified as idiopathic vs. secondary to other conditions. Finally, diseases may be classified according to the proliferative vs. non-proliferative changes seen on pathology.
Classification
The following are the major causes of acute nephritis:
Renal Diseases[1][2]
- Acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis
- Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis - Type 1 and 2
- IgA nephropathy
- Idiopathic rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis
- Anti-GBM disease
- Pauci-immune disease
- Immune-deposit disease
Systemic Diseases[1][2]
- Systemic lupus erythematosus
- Cryoglobulinemia
- Subacute bacterial endocarditis
- "Shunt" nephritis
- Polyarteritis nodosa
- Wegener granulomatosis
- Hypersensitivity vasculitis
- Henoch-Schonlein purpura
- Goodpasture's syndrome
- Visceral abscesses
The following tables shows the classification of glomerular diseases:
