Treatment of acute streptrococcal sore throat is advocated to hasten clinical resolution, prevent suppurative sequelae and decrease the incidence of rheumatic fever and glomerulonephritis. A 10-day course of penicillin is the standard treatment recommended for Group A beta hemolytic streptococci (GABHS) infection. Many antibiotics, including other beta lactams, macrolides, and clindamycin are a...

The association between acute renal disease and infection has been known since the mid ‘800s. PIGN is a reactive immunological process against kidney secondary to an infection, classically caused by Streptococcus. Because usually ongoing at time GN diagnosed, term infection-related glomerulonephritis (IRGN) proposed. Acute post-streptococcal [APSGN] most common form of encountered in children. ...

An association between the complement system and immune complex glomerular disease in humans has long been recognized. In fact, much of our early understanding of the immunochemistry of complement activation developed with the study of acute and chronic glomerulonephritis (1). This manuscript will examine associations between glomerulonephritis and the three complement components encoded within...

Coronavirus disease 2019 is a pandemic caused by SARS-Cov-2 infection, it belongs to the family of beta coronavirus., incidence acute kidney injury in hospitalized patients with covid-19 has been reported be approximately 37% United States. Here we present 76 years old male patient suffered from fever and body pains one month back diagnosed long covid or post covid-19. Now presented complaints ...

Background: The increase in the incidence of malignancies globally, and usage frequency types new anti-cancer drugs, have made onconephrology more important our clinical practice. Paraneoplastic glomerulonephritis constitutes an part this approach as well. Purpose: association AML-nephrotic syndrome is relatively less defined literature compared to other hematological malignancies. Case present...

Renal lesions commonly seen in SBE include localized infarcts, abscesses, therapy-related interstitial nephritis, and glomerulonephritis ( 1-2). The incidence of glomerulonephritis associated with SBEhas not been determined. The most commonorganisms leading to SBEare the streptococcus viridans group and coagulase-negative staphylococci, including Staphylococcus (Staph.) epidermidis ( 1). The re...

BACKGROUND Kidney involvement in non-Hodgkin lymphoma is well recognized and glomerulonephritis, when present, has been commonly reported to be associated with a membranoproliferative pattern. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of a 58-year-old lady with a recurrence of non-Hodgkin MALT B-cell lymphoma, presenting with acute kidney injury, nephrotic range proteinuria and a cellular urinalysis...

Chronic glomerulonephritis syndrome is one of clinical classification in primary glomerulonephritis. Clinical classification of primary glomerulonephritis consists of five groups. (WHO 1995) They are acute nephritic syndrome, rapidly progressive nephritic syndrome, recurrent or persistent hematuria (proteinuria), chronic nephritic syndrome, and nephrotic syndrome. After therapy or renal biopsy,...

Familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) is an inherited auto-inflammatory disorder. Secondary AA amyloidosis is the most devastating complication of FMF. Nonamyloid renal involvements have also been reported in association with FMF, including vasculitis, focal and diffuse glomerulonephritis, and IgA nephropathy. We describe a patient with FMF and E148Q mutation who presented with massive proteinuria...

Seven patients with acute renal failure due to gross haematuria caused by glomerulonephritis are described. Gross haematuria lasting 4-40 days led to acute impairment of renal function of variable severity (peak plasma creatinine 1.3-12 mg/dl) and duration. While partial recovery of renal function occurred in all patients within few days, complete remission was observed only some months later. ...
