AB Glomerulonephropathies  are  disorders  that  primarily  affect  the  structure  and  function  of  the  renal  glomerular  apparatus.  Frequently  encountered  in  clinical  practice,  glomerulopathies  are  usually  suspected  from  the  history  and  the  urinary  findings  of  hematuria,  red  cell  casts,  or  proteinuria.  There  are  many  different  causes  of  glomerular  disease  that  can  be  generally  classified  into  nephrotic  syndrome,  nephritic  syndrome,  and  non-nephrotic  proteinuria.  However,  there  may  be  considerable  overlap  in  their  clinical  presentation  with  some  diseases  presenting  with  components  of  more  than  one  syndrome.
