Final answer:
Nephritic Syndrome, also known as acute nephritic syndrome, is a kidney disorder characterized by inflammation of the glomeruli (the filtering units of the kidneys). It is represented by the acronym PHAROH, which stands for Proteinuria, Hematuria, Azothrocytes (red blood cells), Renal dysfunction, Oliguria (reduced urine output), and Hypertension.
Step-by-step explanation:
Nephritic Syndrome, also known as acute nephritic syndrome, is a kidney disorder characterized by inflammation of the glomeruli (the filtering units of the kidneys). It is represented by the acronym PHAROH, which stands for Proteinuria, Hematuria, AZOthrOcytes (red blood cells), Renal dysfunction, Oliguria (reduced urine output), and Hypertension.
Proteinuria refers to the presence of excess protein in the urine. Hematuria is the presence of blood in the urine. Azothrocytes are red blood cells that can be seen under a microscope in the urine sample. Renal dysfunction refers to impaired kidney function. Oliguria is the condition of reduced urine output. Hypertension is high blood pressure.
