Classification
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.
The following tables shows the classification of glomerular diseases:
