What Is Glomerulonephritis?
4. Autoimmune Diseases
Our immune systems do an excellent job of keeping us safe from disease. Without them, it would not be long before we fall ill to a potentially deadly disease. Our immune system also helps with the maintenance and repair of our bodies. As essential to us as they are, however, some people’s immune system will work against them.
Autoimmune conditions will attack certain aspects of the patient’s own body, and this can result in conditions like Glomerulonephritis. Autoimmune conditions that can cause Glomerulonephritis include IgA nephropathy, lupus, and Goodpasture’s syndrome. Unfortunately, autoimmune conditions can be very difficult to treat, and they can have a considerable impact on the patient’s well-being.
