N07.4: Hereditary nephropathy, not elsewhere classified Diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis

Your kidneys are not working properly. This is due to a hereditary condition.

There are normally 2 kidneys in the body. They filter blood and create urine. They thus help to detoxify the body. Furthermore, the kidneys regulate the blood pressure and salt content in the blood, among other things.

If the kidneys do not work properly, this can cause various symptoms. You may have blood in your urine, for example. This can sometimes turn urine red. Lots of water may also accumulate in the body. This may cause your legs or eyelids to become swollen, for example.

Your kidneys do not work properly as a result of a hereditary condition. You may also have other symptoms. Some of your family members may also be affected by the same condition.
