?What are the hallmark clinical features of Nephritic Syndrome

Hallmark clinical features of Nephritic Syndrome include hematuria (blood in the urine), proteinuria (excess protein in the urine), hypertension, edema (swelling), and decreased urine output. Patients may also experience symptoms such as fatigue, abdominal pain, and foamy urine.

? How is Nephritic Syndrome distinguished from other kidney disorders such as Nephrotic Syndrome

Nephritic Syndrome is distinguished from Nephrotic Syndrome based on specific clinical and laboratory findings. In Nephritic Syndrome, patients typically exhibit hematuria and red blood cell casts in urine sediment, along with variable proteinuria, hypertension, and reduced kidney function. In contrast, Nephrotic Syndrome is characterized by heavy proteinuria (>3.5 grams per day), hypoalbuminemia, generalized edema, and hyperlipidemia, with minimal or no hematuria.
