Protein in your urine: could it be glomerulonephritis?
Glomerulonephritis is an umbrella term for a group of kidney diseases that affect the blood vessels in your kidney. Glomerulonephritis can cause significant damage to your kidneys if left untreated. The problem is that the symptoms can be nebulous – and diagnosis is difficult. We spoke to leading consultant nephrologist Dr Christopher Lawrence about what symptoms patients should watch out for, and what the doctor will do if they suspect glomerulonephritis.
