AB  - This  group  of  renal  diseases  is  characterized  by  primary  abnormalities  of  the  glomerulus,  both  structural  (inflammation,  cellular  proliferation,  basement  membrane  thickening,  fibrosis,  epithelial  cell  changes)  and  functional  (increased  permeability  causing  pro-teinuria  or  hemorrhage  of  glomerular  origin).  Glomerular  diseases  may  be  congenital  or  acquired.  Congenital  glomerular  diseases  (the  most  common  being  Alport's  syndrome,  in  which  nephritis  is  associated  with  nerve  deafness  and  cataract)  are  very  rare.  This  chapter  deals  with  acquired  glomerular  diseases.
