Glomerular diseases with large amounts of proteinuria are mainly caused by abnormal renal filtration function.
Glomerular diseases include acute glomerulonephritis, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis, membranous nephropathy, etc. After illness, glomerular filtration barrier will be damaged, such as molecular barrier, charge barrier damage, basement membrane permeability increase will lead to albumin in the blood filtered out of the body, causing large amounts of proteinuria.
After illness, it is necessary to clarify the cause in time, and treat the cause. Daily diet should also be based on low salt. Protein intake should also be controlled when azotemia occurs.
