Hi thanks for asking if question.
Kidney havingbasic filterating unit known as glomerulus.Inflamattion of glomerulus known as glomerulonephritis.
If it shows neutrophils and mesangial cell proliferation then called diffuse proliferative type.
Usually it is secondary to some infection.
Particularly after streptococcal sore throat infection.
Because of glomerulonephritis your urine having RBC and trace protein.
Consult urosurgeon for starting treatment.
I hope your concern regarding diagnosis of your sister has been solved.
Take care.
