Question 3 of 5 a student nurse compares the symptoms of acute glomerulonephritis (agn) with nephrolithiasis. which symptoms sho
Nat2105 [25]
The symptoms most probably observed in a patient suffering from acute glomerulonephritis are: cola-coloured urine, sudden edema.
Acute glomerulonephritis is a disease affecting the kidneys and it is caused by an active inflammation of the kidney's filters, the glomeruli. Kidneys are composed of nearly one million glomeruli, whose main function is to filter waste products from the blood and pass them into the urine. A severe inflammation in the glomeruli disrupts the filtration of the blood and causes high blood pressure, cola-coloured urine and hematuria (due to the presence of red blood cells in the urine) and fluid retention which causes edema.
On the other hand, nephrolithiasis is the term referring to the formation of kidney stones. A kidney stone that passes through the kidney and the urinary tract can cause many painful symptoms, such as hematuria, ureteral colic pain, costovertebral angle tenderness and nausea and vomiting.
