India is responsible for about 40% of global cases of filariasis, with a predominant distribution in the eastern and northeastern states of the country. Odisha was formerly recognized as one of the regions with the highest prevalence. Lymphatic filariasis is attributed to the pathogens Brugia malayi and Wuchereria bancrofti. Filariasis is well acknowledged to exhibit a spectrum of lymphatic and extra-lymphatic symptoms in clinical manifestations. Renal symptoms that may manifest in these patients include asymptomatic proteinuria, chyluria, nephrotic syndrome (NS), or acute glomerulonephritis (GN).
