Primary and Secondary Glomerulopathies, Renal Pathology

Clinical Cases.

Abstract

Renal survival in both primary and secondary glomerulopathies depends on the specific type of disease, the severity of the glomerular damage, the response to treatment, and the presence of other diseases. Generally, primary glomerulopathies, such as minimal change disease, can have a good outlook with proper treatment, while others, like rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis, can quickly result in kidney failure. Secondary glomerulopathies, linked to systemic diseases such as diabetes or lupus, often improve with treatment of the underlying condition but may also need immunosuppressive therapy and management of chronic kidney disease.
