Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis is a kidney disorder
that involves inflammation and changes in the microscopic
structure of kidney cells. It leads to disrupted kidney
function. Membranoproliferative GN I; Membranoproliferative GN

membranoproliferative; MPGN type I; MPGN type II Causes,
incidence, and risk factors: Glomerulonephritis is inflammation
of the glomeruli, the inner structures of the kidney that help
filter waste and fluids from the blood to form urine.
Membranoproliferative GN is a form of glomerulonephritis caused
by an abnormal immune response . Deposits of antibodies build up
in a part of the kidneys called the glomerular basement
membrane. This membrane helps filter waste and extra fluid from
the blood. The changes in this membrane lead disrupt the body's
ability to filter urine. Protein and fluid leak out of the blood
vessels into body tissues, leading to swelling (edem
