Urologist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to HCM.
As an Urologist, i can understand your concern.
The kidney (nephron) is made up of 1 million glomeruli.
Glomerulus is a unit of the kidney, which carries out filtration of body fluids.
Glomerulo-nephritis is inflammation of the kidney,due to various causes.
Diabetes and Hypertension (high B.P.), are the leading causes.
After examination by a doctor, tests to be done are : urine routine and culture;blood routine;creatinine;RBS;LFT;platelets;s.proteins;albumin and globulin;urine-ACR;Restrict salt and protein intake,take all medication.
