Stages and Effects of Glomerulonephritis

The document discusses streptococcal infection, antibody formation, and antigen-antibody complexes depositing in the glomerulus, causing acute inflammation and damage to the glomerulus. This leads to acute glomerulonephritis and, if repeated inflammation occurs, chronic glomerulonephritis. Risk factors include age, heredity, gender, diet, nephrotoxins, and sedentary lifestyle. As kidney function declines through 5 stages, remaining nephrons undergo changes, resulting in loss of excretory and non-excretory renal function and various metabolic disturbances.
