| It is believed that glomerular inflammation requires the activation of both the humoral and the cell-mediated immune system.<ref>{{cite book | last = Cibrik |first = DM | authorlink = | coauthors = Sedor JR | title = Immunopathogenesis of renal disease.

| ===Role of Antibodies===
| |
| Immunological mechanisms mediated by antibodies are required in the pathogenesis of glomerulonephritis. Antibodies are thought to bind either intrinsic glomerular components or specific compounds with unique physiochemical features that are present surrounding the glomerulus. Type IV collagen is an intrinsic glomerular component involved in Goodpasture's syndrome; whereas histone-DNA complexes in systemic lupus erythematosus are not intrinsic compounds to the glomerulus.<ref name="pmid9744974">{{cite journal| author=Hricik DE, Chung-Park M, Sedor JR|title=Glomerulonephritis. | journal=N Engl J Med | year= 1998 | volume= 339 | issue= 13 | pages= 888-99 |pmid=9744974 | doi=10.1056/NEJM199809243391306 | pmc= |url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=9744974 }} </ref><ref name="pmid8621555">{{cite journal| author=Kalluri R, Sun MJ, Hudson BG, Neilson EG| title=The Goodpasture autoantigen.

| ===Matrix Remodeling===
| |
| Matrix remodeling is in part involved in the activation and proliferation of glomerular cells. The resident and the infiltrating cells will both receive unique signals following matrix remodeling that are involved in the activation of pro-inflammatory pathways in these cells.<ref name="pmid9744974">{{cite journal| author=Hricik DE, Chung-Park M, Sedor JR| title=Glomerulonephritis. | journal=N Engl J Med | year= 1998 | volume= 339 | issue= 13 | pages= 888-99 | pmid=9744974 | doi=10.1056/NEJM199809243391306 | pmc= |url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=9744974 }} </ref>

| ===Adaptive Mechanisms===
| |
| Due to ongoing injury, adaptive changes take place in order to help in the resolution of glomerulonephritis. Hyperfiltration, intraglomerular hypertension, and irregular intravascular stress and shear are all processes that may on one hand worsen the renal injury, but are also crucial for the remainder of the functioning glomerulus.<ref name="pmid7933825">{{cite journal| author=Johnson RJ| title=The glomerular response to injury: progression or resolution? | journal=Kidney Int | year= 1994 | volume= 45 | issue= 6 | pages= 1769-82 | pmid=7933825 | doi= | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=7933825 }} </ref><ref name="pmid8468928">{{cite journal| author=Sedor JR, Konieczkowski M, Huang S, Gronich JH, Nakazato Y, Gordon G et al.| title=Cytokines, mesangial cell activation and glomerular injury. | journal=Kidney Int Suppl | year= 1993 | volume= 39 | issue= | pages= S65-70 | pmid=8468928 | doi= | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=8468928 }} </ref><ref name="pmid9358740">{{cite journal| author=Johnson RJ| title=What mediates progressive glomerulosclerosis?

| ===Resolution of Disease===
| |
| Apoptosis, defined as programmed cell death, plays a significant role in defining the resolution of disease and in the renal scarring following glomerulonephritis.<ref name="pmid8731187">{{cite journal| author=Savill J, Mooney A, Hughes J| title=Apoptosis and renal scarring. | journal=Kidney Int Suppl | year= 1996 | volume= 54 | issue= | pages= S14-7 | pmid=8731187 | doi= | pmc= | url=http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/entrez/eutils/elink.fcgi?dbfrom=pubmed&tool=sumsearch.org/cite&retmode=ref&cmd=prlinks&id=8731187 }} </ref>
