background: sub-acute bacterial endocarditis (sbe) rarely presents with features of a small vessel vasculitis. patients with sbe can also develop multiple serological abnormalities including anca. in this report, we present a case of infective endocarditis mimicked anca associated glomerulonephritis.case presentation: a 57-year old male with a clinical picture of rapidly progressive renal failu...

introduction: we intended to assess the accuracy of re-expressed modification of diet for renal disease (mdrd) and cockcroft-gault (cg) equations to estimate glomerular filtration rate (gfr) in chronic kidney disease in two different etiologies of acute renal failure (arf): acute tubular necrosis (atn) and acute glomerulonephritis (agn). methods: patients admitted for arf or the patients compl...

Staphylococcus aureus bacteremia can infrequently present as vasculitis or Acute Glomerulonephritis (AGN). The association between and these immune-mediated responses is rare remains a diagnostic challenge. We case of 62-year-old man with hypertension, hyperlipidemia, type II diabetes mellitus who presented joint pain, hematuria purpuric rash in his legs oral cavity after he dropped bag heavy m...

acute glomerulonephritis (agn) is a type of renal disease which indicates the inflammation of glomerulus and nephrons. this study was carried on 94 children, <15 years old with the diagnosis of agn who were admitted to qom and yazd's hospitals between 2000 and 2006. data were collected using hospital records on admission, progression notes and outpatient follow up. among 94 patients, 55.3% were...

Post-infectious acute glomerulonephritis with hypertensive encephalopathy is characterized by episodic hypertension with headache, vomiting, and hematuria. The association between hypertensive encephalopathy and cortical blindness in children with acute glomerulonephritis is extremely rare. We report the case of a 10-year-old boy with acute glomerulonephritis who presented with gross hematuria,...

Malaria is one of the leading causes of acute renal failure in south-east Asia especially India and Vietnam, and Africa1. Plasmodium vivax is the predominant malarial parasite in India accounting for 50.4– 56.4% cases in the last five years2. Falciparum malaria is the more severe variant of malaria in the region commonly associated with renal complications. Renal manifestations described in fal...

Glomerulonephritis is an important cause of renal failure thought to be caused by autoimmune damage to the kidney. While each type of glomerulonephritis begins with a unique initiating stimulus, subsequent common inflammatory and fibrotic events lead to a final pathway of progressive renal damage. In this article the different forms of inflammatory glomerulonephritis and their diagnosis are dis...
