N03: Chronic nephritic syndrome
Chronic nephritic syndrome is a group of conditions that primarily affect the kidneys over a long period of time. These conditions typically involve inflammation of the tiny filters in your kidneys known as glomeruli. The inflammation can cause issues with the kidneys' function of effectively filtering waste and excess fluids from the body. Common forms of the syndrome can result from specific immune responses, infections, or use of certain medications. Over time, if left unmanaged, these conditions can progress to kidney failure. Symptoms often seen with these conditions can include swelling in the legs and around the eyes, high blood pressure, and discolored urine. The exact symptoms and disease progression may vary depending upon the specific form and severity of the Chronic nephritic syndrome.
