What Causes Your Glomerulonephritis?

According to the statistics from kidney disease expert, there are about one million people dying from PSGN in our country every year. PSGN is one of the most major reasons to uremia. PSGN not only endangers our health,but also brings a heavy financial burden to our families. What causes glomerulonephritis?
After strep bacterial infect our skin or throat 10-14 days, the infection can develop to PSGN. Why? Because the strep bacterial infection can make the tiny blood vessels in the units of the kidney to become inflamed. This makes the kidney less able to filter the blood. When our immune system distinguishs the strep bacterial which intrudes into our body, the system can produce antibody. This specific antibody is intended to kill the bacterial. The immune complex which combined by bacterial and antibody will be catched by the blood capillary in the kidney. The GFR decreases and the volume of the urine reduce, then the wastes are hard to discharged with the urine. At the same time, the oxygen supply to kidney is not enough, resulting to many units in kidney become necrosi for lacking of blood and oxygen.
It may occur in people of any age, but it most often occurs in children ages 6-10. Although skin and throat infections are commom in children, PSGN is a rare complication of these infections. This is determined by the ability of the immune in children.
