  • Title: Glomerulonephritis in children and adults.
    Author: Heale WF.
    Journal: Aust Fam Physician; 1976 Apr; 5(3):291-3. PubMed ID: 942353.
    Abstract:
    Glomerular disease is associated with a limited number of signs which are easily detected by routine clinical examination and urine tests. Haematuria, proteinuria, oedema, hypertension and renal impairment occur in various combinations including classical and predictable syndromes such as acute post streptococcal nephritis and the nephrotic syndrome in children. Apart from these classical syndromes clinico-pathological correlations in glomerular disease are poor. Early renal biopsy is required to determine the extent of the glomerular disease and the long term prognosis in most patients with prolonged proteinuria and haematuria.
