Atypical Clinical Manifestations of Acute Poststreptococcal Glomerulonephritis
Acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN) is one of the most common and important renal diseases resulting from a prior infection with group A β-hemolytic streptococcus (GAS) (Ash and Ingulli, 2008). Typical clinical features of the disease include an acute onset with gross hematuria, edema, hypertension and moderate proteinuria (acute nephritic syndrome) 1 to 2 weeks after an antecede...
متن کاملAcute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis: immune deposit disease.
The possible role of immunologic mechanisms in acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis was suggested in 1908 by Schick (2), who compared the delay in appearance of serum sickness after injection of heterologous serum to the latent period between scarlet fever and onset of acute glomerulonephritis. Evidence in support of this concept is the depression of serum complement during the early stag...
متن کاملAcute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis: a manifestation of immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome.
Immune reconstitution inflammatory syndrome (IRIS) is a well-described complication of initiation of highly active antiretroviral therapy in HIV-infected patients. As the immune system recovers, an inappropriate inflammatory response often occurs that causes significant disease. It is most commonly seen in patients naïve to therapy with CD4+ T-lymphocyte counts <100 cells/cmm and usually presen...
متن کاملThrombocytopenia during the course of acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis.
A four-year old boy was admitted to the hospital due to acute thrombocytopenic purpura. Three days later he developed edema, hematuria and hypertension. The diagnosis of acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis was based upon the evidence of previous sore throat, hypocomplementemia and increased antistreptolysin O titer. Renal biopsy was contraindicated due to throbocytopenia. An extensive wo...
متن کاملNT-proBNP Levels in Children with Acute Poststreptococcal Glomerulonephritis
Acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN) is the most common prototype of acute glomerulonephritis in children, and is characterized by the sudden onset of gross hematuria, edema, hypertension and volume overload. Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is produced in both the brain and the heart. Its prohormone, proBNP, is cleaved to biologically active BNP and an inactive N-terminal peptide ...
