Overview

Glomerulonephritis (GN) is a disease that causes swelling and damage in the tiny filters of the kidneys. 

Common symptoms

This can make it harder for the body to remove waste and extra fluid, leading to symptoms like swelling, high blood pressure and changes in urination.

Treatment options

Treatment depends on the cause and may help protect your kidneys from further damage.
