  • Title: [Five cases of acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis with acute renal failure and nephrotic syndrome].
    Author: Niimi K, Ide K, Tsuru N.
    Journal: Nihon Jinzo Gakkai Shi; 2002 Jan; 44(1):29-33. PubMed ID: 11925944.
    Abstract:
    During the period of 27 years from 1974 to 2000, acute episodes were studied retrospectively in 130 patients under 14 years of age with poststreptococcal acute glomerulonephritis(PSAGN). PSAGN cases have a variable clinical presentation from asymptomatic to severe oliguric acute renal failure(ARF). Proteinuria is nearly always present, but is less than 3.5 g/day. Nephrotic syndrome(NS) is not commonly observed in PSAGN. Among 130 patients, 5 cases had NS with ARF. The present study investigated a spectrum of NS with ARF and the significance of clinical features in PSAGN.
