The process of falling ill is long, and kidneys often have different degrees of damages. The inflammation can continually exist even the symptoms on skin have disappeared. This pattern is often seen in adults.

In this pattern, the glomerulis have severe pathological changes. Kidneys suffer from diffuse proliferative nephritis, and crescents of different degrees appear at the same time. This pattern has the symptoms of nephropathy syndrome, like edema, protein urine, hyperlipemia and hypoalbuminemia. Surely, the prognosis of this pattern is often very bad.
