Acute nephritic syndrome may be differentiated according to the etiology of renal disease. Primary glomerulonephritis is defined as glomerulonephritis due to primary renal disease. Secondary glomerulonephritis is defined as glomerulonephritis due to other etiologies, such as infectious agents, vasculitides, and medications.
Acute nephritic syndrome may be differentiated according to the etiology of renal disease. Acute nephritis may be classified based on renal vs. non-renal etiology. Similarly, acute nephritis may be classified as idiopathic vs. secondary to other conditions. Finally, diseases may be classified according to the proliferative vs. non-proliferative changes seen on pathology.

Classification

Acute nephritic syndrome may be differentiated according to the etiology of renal disease. Acute nephritis may be classified based on renal vs. non-renal etiology. Similarly, acute nephritis may be classified as idiopathic vs. secondary to other conditions. Finally, diseases may be classified according to the proliferative vs. non-proliferative changes seen on pathology.

The following tables shows the classification of acute glomerulonephritis:
