Abstract :

Acute glomerulonephritis refers to a specific set of renal diseases in which an immunologic mechanism triggers inflammation and proloferation of glomerular tissue that can result in damage to the basement memane, mesangium,or capillary endothelium.

Hippocrates originally described the manifestation of back pain and hematuria, which lead to oliguria or anuria. With the development of the microscope, Langhana was later able to describe these pathophysiologic glomerular changes.

AIMS AND OBJECTIVES

1. To study the clinical and pathological profile of acute glomerulonephritis in hospitalized patients.

2. To correlate the renal biopsy with the clinical features, diagnosis and prognosis in acute glomerulonephritis.

3. To study the incidence of acute glomerulonephritis in the part of country.

MATERIALS AND METHODS...

In this prospective study. we studied the clinical and pathological profile of patients. The study group comprised of "clinicopathological profile of acute Glomerulonephritis in hospitalized patients" from the Department of Nephrology SUPERSPECIALITY HOSPITAL,Government Medical College, Jammu for the period of four years w.e.f MAY 2013 to JUNE 2017.

CONCLUSION

From our study on ACUTE GLOMERULONEPHRITIS, It was concluded that the patients with clinical presentation like edema, haematuria and hypertension had more evidence of Acute glomerulonephritis on histopathological examination. PSAGN was the most common entity among others others. Idiopathic MPGN usually presented with nephrotic range proteinuria, although it may present with non nephrotic range proteinuria. PSGN showed better outcome as compared to other enteties if treated aggressively
