Causes

Nephritic syndrome causes are usually grouped into 'focal proliferative' and 'diffuse proliferative' on the basis of histology (obtained by a renal biopsy).

Focal proliferative

• IgA nephropathy
• chronic liver failure
• Celiac sprue
• dermatitis herpetiformis
• Henoch-Schoenlein purpura
• Alport syndrome
• SLE

Diffuse proliferative

• focal glomerulosclerosis
• membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (malaria, hepatitis B, hepatitis C, chronic infection, sickle-cell disease, SLE, hemolytic uremic syndrome / thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura)
• cryoglobulinemia
• SLE
• rapidly progressing glomerulonephritis (RPGNs) - several.
