[Modes of clinical presentation of glomerular diseases].

There are various modes of presentation of glomerular diseases. Patients may present with edema or hypertension, isolated proteinuria, asymptomatic microhematuria or recurrent gross hematuria, nephrotic syndrome, acute nephritic syndrome, or rapidly progressive renal insufficiency. We focus on the anti-proteinuric treatment, on the complications and symptomatic management of the nephrotic syndrome, and on the early diagnosis of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis.
