Overview

The clinical differentiation between nephritic and nephrotic syndromes is crucial to establish the proper differential diagnosis and determine the appropriate management. In addition, the clinical history and prognosis of nephritic syndrome is different from that of nephrotic syndrome.

Differential Diagnosis

The following table summarizes the key differences between nephrotic syndrome and nephritic syndrome:

Distinguishing Nephritic Syndrome from Nephrotic Syndrome
Clinical Feature Nephritic Syndrome Nephrotic Syndrome
Hematuria Yes Yes / No
Proteinuria < 3.5 g/24 hrs > 3.5 g/24hrs
Red Cell Casts Yes No
Hypoalbuminemia Yes / No Yes
Hypertension Yes Yes / No
Progression Insidious Abrupt
