Acute infection-related glomerulonephritis with disseminated gonococcal infection in a 13-year-old girl
We describe a case of acute glomerulonephritis associated with concurrent disseminated gonococcal infection for rarity of this condition and early recognition of renal involvement. Case presentation. History of present illness. A previously healthy 13-year-old girl was admitted with 1 day of fever, temperature maximum 105°F (40°C), vomiting ...
A case of crescentic glomerulonephritis in a patient with CO ...
Here, we report a case of pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis in a patient with COVID 19 infection that responded partially to steroids and rituximab. In a review of the literature, 24 cases of glomerulonephritis associated with COVID-19 were reviewed. Of these patients, 91% (22/24) underwent kidney biopsy, and collapsing FSGS was the ...
Glomerulonephritis
The structural and functional unit of the kidney, the 'nephron,' consists of a renal corpuscle (glomerulus surrounded by a Bowman capsule) and a renal tubule. Each kidney in an adult human contains around 1 million nephrons.[1] A fenestrated endothelium forms the inner glomerular layer, followed by a layer composed of various extracellular proteins forming a meshwork called the glomerular ...
Acute Glomerulonephritis Clinical Presentation
Most often, the patient with acute glomerulonephritis (AGN) is a boy, aged 2-14 years, who suddenly develops puffiness of the eyelids and facial edema in the setting of a poststreptococcal infection. The urine is dark and scanty, and the blood pressure may be elevated. Nonspecific symptoms include weakness, fever, abdominal pain, and malaise.
Infection-related Glomerulonephritis and C3 Glomerulonephritis
Case presentation. A 64-year-old male construction worker presented to the emergency department (ED) with left upper quadrant (LUQ) abdominal pain and a rash over the bilateral lower extremities for three days. ... Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) was previously classified as MPGN I characterized by predominant subendothelial ...
Syphilis-related rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis: a case
Case presentation The patient was an elderly woman of Caribbean descent who presented with lower extremity weakness, anasarca and proteinuria, hematuria with progressive renal failure. On kidney biopsy, she was found to have a pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis pattern and a concomitant acute tubulointerstitial nephritis.
Glomerulonephritis
Glomerulonephritis signs and symptoms may include: Pink or cola-colored urine from red blood cells in your urine (hematuria). Foamy or bubbly urine due to excess protein in the urine (proteinuria). High blood pressure (hypertension). Fluid retention (edema) with swelling evident in your face, hands, feet and abdomen.
Nivolumab-associated acute glomerulonephritis: a case report and
Case presentation. A 70-year-old male with clear cell kidney cancer was admitted with acute kidney injury while on nivolumab. A kidney biopsy revealed diffuse tubular injury and immune complex-mediated glomerulonephritis. Electron microscopy of the specimen showed hump-like subepithelial deposits.
Atypical presentation of acute post-infectious glomerulonephritis in
We report two cases of acute post-infectious glomerulonephritis (APIGN), with atypical presentations, in patients with SCD. Case presentation. Case 1: An 18-year-old female with SCD presented with a 21-day history of progressive oedema, accompanied by dyspnoea, productive cough, fever, and chest pain.
Poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis
INTRODUCTION. Poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis (PSGN) is caused by prior infection with specific nephritogenic strains of group A beta-hemolytic streptococcus. The clinical presentation of PSGN varies from asymptomatic, microscopic hematuria to the full-blown acute nephritic syndrome, characterized by red to brown urine, proteinuria (which ...
Acute glomerulonephritis
Seminar. Glomerulonephritis is a heterogeneous group of disorders that present with a combination of haematuria, proteinuria, hypertension, and reduction in kidney function to a variable degree. Acute presentation with full blown nephritic syndrome or rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis is uncommon and is mainly restricted to patients with ...
Chronic Glomerulonephritis Clinical Presentation
Early morning nausea and vomiting. Change in taste sensation. Reversal in sleep pattern (ie, sleepiness in daytime and wakefulness at night) Peripheral neuropathy. Seizures. Tremors. The presence of edema and hypertension suggests volume retention. Dyspnea or chest pain that varies with position suggests fluid overload and pericarditis ...
A case of acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis that developed
A 10-year male patient presented with swelling in the face, legs and scrotal area which developed 8 days after tonsillitis treatment. Acute post-sterotococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN) was considered in the patient whose urinalysis revealed hematuria and proteinuria at nephrotic level, whose urea, creatinine, lipid profile and anti-streptolysine O antibody levels were increased, albumin and ...
Syphilis-related rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis: a case
Case presentation: The patient was an elderly woman of Caribbean descent who presented with lower extremity weakness, anasarca and proteinuria, hematuria with progressive renal failure. On kidney biopsy, she was found to have a pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis pattern and a concomitant acute tubulointerstitial nephritis.
Post streptococcal glomerulonephritis Case Study
A classic case follows a streptococcal infection by 7-12 days. This is the time needed for the development of antibodies. Our case study focuses on this disease progression and series of graphics explains how the inflammatory response is caused by an immune reaction following the entrapment of immune complexes in the glomerular capillary ...
What is Glomerulonephritis?
Glomerulonephritis is a group of diseases that injure the part of the kidney that filters blood (called glomeruli). Other terms you may hear used are nephritis and nephrotic syndrome. Glomerulonephritis can be acute or chronic. In some instances, you may recover on your own, and in others you need immediate treatment. Find information regarding symptoms, causes, treatment, prevention and ...
Glomerulonephritis
Although each clinical presentation can be associated with several distinct types of glomerulonephritis defined by aetiology and pathology, the approach to diagnosis and management is best directed by the clinical presentation. ... Glomerulonephritis, as is the case with most forms of renal injury, tends to produce progressive loss of kidney ...
Sunitinib-induced endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis with
Case presentation. This case report describes a unique instance of a patient with metastatic GIST who developed endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis (EPGN) with IgA2 deposits and TMA following sunitinib treatment. The patient presented with severe hypertension, nephrotic syndrome, and acute kidney injury.
Case Study: ANCA-negative Small Vessel Vasculitis
Idiopathic crescentic glomerulonephritis is rare, 1 and ANCA-negative, pauci-immune renal vasculitis accounts for 5% to 10% of cases. 2 In ANCA-negative small vessel glomerulonephritis, complement activation appears to be more prominent. 1 However, this patient had normal complement levels. He was thought to be outside the average age at onset ...

A Case Report of Recurrent Glomerulonephritis 27 Years After Renal
Case presentation. A 46-year-old Hispanic female with a history of MPGN status post renal transplant 27 years prior to presentation was referred to the emergency department by primary care for an elevated creatinine level of 6.1 mg/dL. The patient had a 30-year history of MPGN due to unknown etiology and developed ESRD two years following ...
Bacteraemia Associated with Bilophila wadsworthia : A Rare Case ...
Bilophila wadsworthia is a Gram-negative anaerobic bacterium. In current study, it was identified in the bloodstream of a 69-year-old man admitted to the Neurology Clinic at the University of Debrecen, Clinical Centre, Hungary, for internal carotid artery stent implantation. Bacteraemia caused by B. wadsworthia is extremely rare, with very few cases reported worldwide. This case is notable ...
Glomerulonephritis during Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection: scoping
People with Tuberculosis (TB) infection may present with glomerulonephritis (GN). The range of presentations, renal pathologies, and clinical outcomes are uncertain. Whether clinical features that establish if GN etiology is medication or TB related, and possible benefits of immunosuppression remain uncertain. A scoping review was completed, searching MEDLINE, EMBASE, Cochrane Central Register ...
