Glomerulonephritis is an inflammatory condition affecting the glomeruli, the tiny filtering units in the kidneys, leading to impaired renal function and potential kidney failure. It is clinically significant as it can result in symptoms such as haematuria, proteinuria, and hypertension, impacting patient management and prognosis. A key association is with post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis, which can occur following a streptococcal infection, highlighting the need for timely diagnosis and treatment.
