Inflamed kidney
Inflamed and swollen kidney,gross specimen. This is a case of glomerulonephritis. This is the acute (rapidly developing) form. Nephritis refers to kidney inflammation. Glomerulonephritis refers to inflammation of the filtering structures of a kidney,its glomeruli (not seen). It is usually caused by a bacterial infection,and may develop from a streptococcal throat infection. Each glomerulus is a tightly coiled network of blood vessels. When a glomerulus is damaged,blood flow is reduced and so the filtration rate is slowed,impairing the blood-cleaning ability of the kidney. Treatment is of any underlying infection,as well as bed rest to allow recovery
