Nephrotic Syndrome vs Nephritic Syndrome Explained (Nephritic vs Nephrotic)

[@Ryderere]

I was kind of confused by some terms our teacher used during the lecture in relation to glomerular diseases, so with the help of this video and some other sources I have compiled this short cheat sheet. Hope it helps you as much as it helped me! 1) Glomerulopathy - any disease of the glomeruli (e.g. glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy etc). 2) Glomerulonephritis - any inflammatory (or at the very least immunne-mediated, like in Goodpasture syndrome) disease of the glomeruli. You can remember this, as the suffix -itis in medical terminology usually denotes some sort of an inflammatory etiology (e.g. gastritis - inflammation of the stomach). Some examples: poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis, membranous glomerulonephritis etc. What makes this term especially confusing and frustrating is that diseases of idiopathic (or unknown) origin are also frequently lumped in this category. Like, for example, it's assumed that the above mentioned membranous glomerulonephritis is some sort of an immunne/inflammatory condition, but the cause is actually pretty much unknown in most cases (i.e. idiopathic). 3) Nephritic syndrome and nephrotic syndrome - CLINICAL syndromes, that are defined by their CLINICAL presentation. If a person has the main symptoms mentioned in this video (and some additional minor ones, which you can google), then he has nephritic or nephrotic sundrome irrespective of etiology. They can be caused by a wide variety of different glomerulonephritides. I'l repeat that: the SAME clinical presentation (nephritic syndrome, nephrotic syndrome or other) can be caused by DIFFERENT glomerular diseases in different people. Also the SAME glomerulopathy can cause a DIFFERENT clinical presentation (nephritic syndrome, nephrotic syndrome or other) in different people.

Thanks again for this. I was so confused because our prof never made it clear that nephritic and nephrotic syndroms are defined by clinical presentation and they can have many different pathophys like GN.

Thank you☺

[@Ortundonim]

Ryderere as far as i know nephritic is for the tubulointerstitial lession and nephrotic is mostly affected the glomeruli

[@billumnbvc4608]

okay now I am even more confused

[@Rerevise101]

@@billumnbvc4608 i feel you

[@chunkstone8226]

Dr S i am a British PA student. I am subscribed to many different channels and yours is head and shoulders better than any other in my experience. Your ability to elucidate the fundamentals, memorably without extraneous detail is the mark of a true educator.

[@TheNewPlaces]

This is the second time I've used this video for review over the last year. Can't thank you enough.

[@Ummesfaisal]

I sometimes wonder, how would I get through med school without these amazing explanatory videos on KZbin. Thank you! ❤️

[@Medcram]

Check us out on medcram.com There’s so much more that can help you in med school!

[@marciobrito6476]

wow, that was an excelent explanation. Please, continue making the medical student life easier

[@ajacotin]

Sharing this with my good friend who just shared with me that he has Nephrotic syndrome. I am hoping this will help him to understand his condition better and maybe take even better care of himself.

[@CheriCheriLady95]

Thank you very very very much! My book doesn't explain properly the pathophysiological mechanism of nephrotic syndrome and you just made it so clear! I love your videos! Keep it up!

[@marihanbadr1271]

I didn't even expect this video to be too helpful since all the others i could find were messy and confusing, but I'm beyond pleasantly surprised! Thank you sooo much!!! Super clear and explanatory

[@medic7989]

Excellent video based explanation. I kept stopping the video, backing up while making notes to help me study and learn. Thank you Dr. Seheult for taking the time to produce this video.

[@damonspears7788]

very well explained. I appreciate the visual...makes alot more sense now! Thanks

[@marypennington3899]

Hi, I'm a RN and med student in the Caribbean and studying the kidney in path. I love your video on nephrotic vs nephritic syn, I needed clarification on the differences, got it, thanks! I'm looking forward to more kidney videos!!!! MP

[@Medcram]

+Mary Pennington Mary great to hear from you. My family is originally from Trinidad!

[@dianawaters6666]

This was so easy to understand and correlates perfectly with what I have read in my textbooks. Thank you!

[@kassandrahershberger9975]

Thank you! We just went over this yesterday in my nursing class and I needed to see it from a different perspective. Definitely helped me with understanding fully :)

[@raqqquels]

Thank you!!! I have an upcoming pediatrics' oral exam and I'm revising most of the topics with your channel, awesome :)

[@Medcram]

+raqqquels Excellent - best wishes with your upcoming exam

[@dr.shreyrawal28]

I searched so much to find out the basic mechanism of injury to cause these syndrome and finally found it out. Thank u soooo much sir.

[@polycarponyari6197]

Clearly explained. Well understood. Thank you Doc. Keep giving us more lectures

My brother has it he's in the hospital right know we found out he had it 2 years ago and he is sick so it makes it worse now I know what's gapping thank you ❤️

[@DDD-yr5os]

Dr. Seheult, Thanks for these informative videos! As a nurse It is usually assumed by physicians that we cannot understand more detailed physiological concepts. I find these videos to be very helpful in understanding basic physiology and treatment of diseases I see everyday in the ICU.

[@Medcram]

+Dave Thomas Thank you- glad the videos have been helpful!

[@tashinga.munjanga]

thanx doctor , great explanation

[@carl108]

I like your video more than most. One thing I would have done differently to better delineate the terms is label epithelial on the left half and endothelial on the right half of the line - to more easily associate epithelial with nephrotic and endothelial with nephritic.

[@rozennvuilleumier7144]

Thankyou so much for this! Greetings from The Netherlands :)
