Kidney located behind the stomach, one left and one right of the spine. Kidneys have a blood supply via srteri-renal artery from the aorta directly behind the dam to send blood to the heart via renal veins.

Glomerulonephritis is one of the usual kidney disease called renal inflammation. Kidney disease commonly referred to as kidney inflammation. The disease is characterized by inflammation of the kidney glomeruli in part. This condition can occur when the body’s immune system is paralyzed.

Antibodies and other substances to form particles in the bloodstream are trapped in the glomeruli. This causes inflammation and make the glomeruli can not work properly.

As already mentioned, the main function of the kidneys is to filter out substances that are contained in the body. Germs and viruses also filtered, so that later was trapped in the kidneys and cause kidney inflammation.
“Antibodies in the blood circulation will lead to the kidneys and then filtered in that place. Germs that are trapped will be mixed with other antibodies,” he explained.

When the body attacked by various bacteria and viruses and even parasites, the body will form antibodies. Antoimun ensued and causes the body to give the wrong reaction.
