  • Title: Chronic glomerulonephritis in childhood. Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis, and IgA nephropathy.
    Author: Andreoli SP.
    Journal: Pediatr Clin North Am; 1995 Dec; 42(6):1487-503. PubMed ID: 8614597.
    Abstract:
    The chronic glomerulonephritides that lead to permanent loss of renal function may present with an acute nephritic syndrome, nephrotic syndrome, or asymptomatic hematuria and proteinuria. Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis, and IgA nephropathy are common childhood glomerulonephritides that may lead to chronic renal failure. Their clinical manifestations, natural history, and long-term prognosis are distinct. This article reviews various presentations of these common childhood glomerulonephritides and an approach to management and potential therapy.
