Glomerulonephritis is a kidney condition that causes inflammation of the glomeruli, the tiny filtering units within the kidneys. When these filters become damaged, the kidneys may not function properly, leading to blood or protein in the urine, swelling, high blood pressure, and declining kidney function. If you are searching for a Glomerulonephritis Specialist in Surrey BC, Dr. Shahzad provides expert nephrology care with short wait times and convenient virtual medical consultations.

Early diagnosis and treatment can help slow kidney damage, manage symptoms, and preserve long-term kidney health. Dr. Shahzad offers comprehensive evaluations and personalized treatment plans for patients across Surrey and British Columbia.

What is Glomerulonephritis?

Glomerulonephritis is a group of kidney diseases that cause inflammation of the glomeruli, which are responsible for filtering waste and excess fluid from the blood. The condition may develop suddenly (acute) or gradually over time (chronic), and without proper management, it can increase the risk of chronic kidney disease and kidney failure.

Common Symptoms of Glomerulonephritis

Symptoms may vary depending on the severity of the condition but often include:

• Blood in the urine (Hematuria)
• Protein in the urine (Proteinuria)
• Swelling in the feet, ankles, hands, or face
• High blood pressure
• Foamy urine
• Fatigue and weakness
• Reduced kidney function

If you are experiencing these symptoms or have abnormal kidney blood work, a nephrology consultation may help identify the cause and guide treatment.
