Glomerulonephritis is also known as glomerular nephritis (GN) or glomerular disease. It is a disease of the kidney, characterized by inflammation of the glomeruli. Glomeruli are very small blood vessels in the kidneys that act as tiny little filters - there are about one million glomeruli in each kidney. The disease damages the kidneys' ability to remove waste and excess fluids from the body.
Apart from being alarming to the patient, it can be the first sign of a very serious condition of the urinary system. There are a wide variety of conditions or disease states that can cause bloody urine. Any disease affecting the urinary system is a potential cause of bloody urine. Ranging from sickle cell traits and water flukes (schisostomiasis) to conditions such as acute glomerulonephritis, stone...

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease of unknown cause characterized by expansion of autoreactive lymphocytes. Regulatory T cells (T regs ) are a component of the normal immune system and contribute to the maintenance of peripheral tolerance.

Hematuria is the commonest presentation but not the only one. There are many other causes for hematuria in children that has to be differentiated from the topic of this article which is : Acute Post Streptococcal Glomerulonephritis...
