Differential Diagnosis and Treatment of Glomerulonephritis

RPGNAbstract
Based on clinical presentation, it is necessary to distinguish between nephrotic and nephritic spectrums. This distinction is crucial as it helps narrow down the differentiation of underlying glomerular pathology. Additionally, differential diagnosis includes primary and secondary causes depending on the age group and clinical presentation. Primary glomerulonephritis, presenting as nephrotic syndrome in young patients, is likely minimal change disease, while in adults, the membranous variant is more common.
