What Is Glomerulonephritis?
6. Symptoms
The symptoms of glomerulonephritis will depend on the underlying cause of the condition, and whether or not you have the chronic or acute form. In some cases, the patient might not be aware they have the condition at all until it shows up during a check-up, or when looking for something else.
When symptoms do arise, they typically include foamy urine, which is caused by high levels of proteins. Edema is another potential symptom, which is swelling caused by the accumulation of fluids. High blood pressure is another potential symptom, while the patient’s urine can also be darker in color than usual.
