Glomerulonephritis is a condition in which there is an inflammation of the glomeruli of the kidneys. Glomeruli are tufts of small blood vessels that filter the waste materials from the blood and produce urine. It results from an immunological reaction that may occur after an infection with bacteria and viruses or as a part of other inflammatory diseases. It may go unnoticed or may cause blood or protein to appear in your urine. In some people, it may cause high blood pressure, while in 30% of people, it may progress to end-stage renal disease.
