Nephrotic Syndrome vs Nephritic Syndrome Explained (Nephritic vs Nephrotic) 

I understood more in 12 minutes than I did reading my textbook! Your videos have helped me answer questions on my exams because I've understood the material. Thanks for making them free and accessible to everyone! God bless you!

I was kind of confused by some terms our teacher used during the lecture in relation to glomerular diseases, so with the help of this video and some other sources I have compiled this short cheat sheet. Hope it helps you as much as it helped me! 1) Glomerulopathy - any disease of the glomeruli (e.g. glomerulonephritis, diabetic nephropathy etc). 2) Glomerulonephritis - any inflammatory (or at the very least immunne-mediated, like in Goodpasture syndrome) disease of the glomeruli. You can remember this, as the suffix -itis in medical terminology usually denotes some sort of an inflammatory etiology (e.g. gastritis - inflammation of the stomach). Some examples: poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis, membranous glomerulonephritis etc. What makes this term especially confusing and frustrating is that diseases of idiopathic (or unknown) origin are also frequently lumped in this category. Like, for example, it's assumed that the above mentioned membranous glomerulonephritis is some sort of an immunne/inflammatory condition, but the cause is actually pretty much unknown in most cases (i.e. idiopathic). 3) Nephritic syndrome and nephrotic syndrome - CLINICAL syndromes, that are defined by their CLINICAL presentation. If a person has the main symptoms mentioned in this video (and some additional minor ones, which you can google), then he has nephritic or nephrotic sundrome irrespective of etiology. They can be caused by a wide variety of different glomerulonephritides. I'l repeat that: the SAME clinical presentation (nephritic syndrome, nephrotic syndrome or other) can be caused by DIFFERENT glomerular diseases in different people. Also the SAME glomerulopathy can cause a DIFFERENT clinical presentation (nephritic syndrome, nephrotic syndrome or other) in different people.

This is the second time I've used this video for review over the last year. Can't thank you enough.

Dr S i am a British PA student. I am subscribed to many different channels and yours is head and shoulders better than any other in my experience. Your ability to elucidate the fundamentals, memorably without extraneous detail is the mark of a true educator.

See the whole series at www.medcram.com along with other top quality videos including reviews in pulmonary, cardiology, infectious disease, and hematology!

very well explained. I appreciate the visual...makes alot more sense now! Thanks

wow, that was an excelent explanation. Please, continue making the medical student life easier

Thank you for a very lucid presentation. Please continue the great work :)

Thank you! We just went over this yesterday in my nursing class and I needed to see it from a different perspective. Definitely helped me with understanding fully :)

holy crap that was good! i had such big troubles with that topic.. gone with the video! 1000x thanks!!

Thank you very very very much! My book doesn't explain properly the pathophysiological mechanism of nephrotic syndrome and you just made it so clear! I love your videos! Keep it up!

Excellent video based explanation. I kept stopping the video, backing up while making notes to help me study and learn. Thank you Dr. Seheult for taking the time to produce this video.

I sometimes wonder, how would I get through med school without these amazing explanatory videos on RU-vid. Thank you! ❤️

easy, quick, and to the point and it wasn't confusing! thank you! I finally conceptually understand this now

Clearly explained. Well understood. Thank you Doc. Keep giving us more lectures

This was so easy to understand and correlates perfectly with what I have read in my textbooks. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this very informative video! This lecture was easier to understand than the one given by my advanced pathophysiology professor and so I'm very grateful to you for it Dr. Seheult.

Sharing this with my good friend who just shared with me that he has Nephrotic syndrome. I am hoping this will help him to understand his condition better and maybe take even better care of himself.

So glad that this video was uploaded just when I needed it thank you

Thank God for Med Cram :) Helps alot!!

Thank you!!! I have an upcoming pediatrics' oral exam and I'm revising most of the topics with your channel, awesome :)

Thank you! Your videos are SO incredibly helpful!!

concise and precise. thank you sir

Excellent. Thank you !

Dr. Seheult, Thanks for these informative videos! As a nurse It is usually assumed by physicians that we cannot understand more detailed physiological concepts. I find these videos to be very helpful in understanding basic physiology and treatment of diseases I see everyday in the ICU.

I searched so much to find out the basic mechanism of injury to cause these syndrome and finally found it out. Thank u soooo much sir.

Thanks for your explanation

Very straight forward, loved it!! Thanks!!

Very helpful video! Explanations and drawings are great and this really helps to give a summary of important facts.

WONDERFUL video!!!!! I love knowing the why behind it. It helps so that you don't have to memorize but you can understand. Thanks! Great complement to my school lectures. :)

thanx doctor , great explanation

Thank you.Well explained

Medcram, thanks for detailed yet clear explaination on nephrotic syndrome. I will have this topic in my next nursing peds exam 3.
