Síntomas:

Sangre en la orina
Orina oscura (color humo, cola o té)
Orina turbia
Disminución en el volumen de orina
Hinchazón de cualquier parte del cuerpo
Cambios en el estado mental, como disminución en la lucidez mental o disminución en la concentración

Pruebas y exámenes:

Los resultados de un examen físico varían dependiendo de los síntomas. La hinchazón puede estar presente junto con signos de hipervolemia, tales como sonidos anormales al auscultar los pulmones y el corazón con un estetoscopio.

La presión arterial a menudo está elevada, debido al aumento de la retención de agua y sodio (sal) y por el aumento en la producción de renina, una hormona que controla dicha presión arterial.

La glomerulonefritis membranoproliferativa puede presentarse en varias formas. Se puede observar como síndrome nefrítico agudo, síndrome nefrótico o un análisis de orina anormal sin síntomas.

Estos exámenes ayudan a confirmar el diagnóstico:

Una biopsia del riñón confirma el diagnóstico de glomerulonefritis membranoproliferativa tipo I.
