Acute Nephritic Syndrome treatment in Mexico City

Acute nephritis syndrome is a sudden inflammation of the glomeruli, the kidney structures responsible for filtering the blood, which abruptly alters their ability to function.

Common symptoms: Dark-appearing or bloody urine, a decrease in the amount of urine, swelling in the face or legs, and sometimes elevated blood pressure.

Common causes: It frequently appears after certain infections or in the context of diseases that affect the kidney.

Which specialist treats it? The study of acute nephritis syndrome falls to the nephrologist, and to the pediatric nephrologist when it occurs in children. If you notice marked changes in the urine or swelling, consulting these professionals allows kidney function to be evaluated in detail.
