About Glomerulonephritis
Glomerulonephritis is a condition characterized by inflammation of the glomeruli—the tiny filters in the kidneys responsible for removing waste and excess fluids from the blood. It can be acute or chronic and may develop due to infections, autoimmune diseases, or other underlying conditions. Left untreated, it can lead to high blood pressure, proteinuria, or even chronic kidney disease (CKD).
At Paras Hospital, Patna, our nephrology experts use advanced diagnostic tools and evidence-based therapies to treat glomerulonephritis early and effectively—reducing complications and improving long-term outcomes.
