Variable Presentation: From Asymptomatic to ESRD: Glomerulonephritis can present in a spectrum of ways, ranging from asymptomatic hematuria/proteinuria (found on routine urinalysis) to rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis (RPGN) leading to end-stage renal disease (ESRD) within weeks to months. Clinical Importance: Early detection through routine screening (especially in at-risk populations) can significantly improve outcomes by allowing for prompt treatment. Recognizing RPGN and initiating immediate intervention (e.g., immunosuppression, plasmapheresis) is critical to prevent irreversible kidney damage.
