Nephritic Syndrome

Nephritic syndrome is the name given to a collection of different signs and symptoms that occur as a result of inflammation in the kidneys. This inflammation causes the kidneys to work less effectively. It also causes protein and red blood cells to leak from the bloodstream into the urine.
If you have a disease that can damage your kidneys, work with your health care provider to control your disease and prevent kidney damage. Also, talk to your health care provider about having the tests for kidney health.
