Poststreptococcal Glomerulonephritis -Characterized by the sudden appearance of edema, hematuria, proteinuria and hypertension. -Affects children between the ages of 2 and 14 years. -It is more common in males. Differential Diagnoses: Subacute Bacterial Endocarditis The clinical presentation of these conditions is variable and includes proteinuria, microscopic hematuria, and acute renal failure. Lupus Nephritis The most common clinical sign of renal disease is proteinuria, but hematuria, hypertension, varying degrees of renal failure, and active urine sediment with red blood cell casts can all be present. Antiglomerular Basement Membrane Disease Disease in the younger age group is usually explosive, with hemoptysis, a sudden fall in hemoglobin, fever, dyspnea, and hematuria. IgA Nephropathy The two most common presentations of IgA nephropathy are recurrent episodes of macroscopic hematuria during or immediately following an upper respiratory infection often accompanied by proteinuria or persistent asymptomatic microscopic hematuria. Nephrotic syndrome, however, is uncommon. Proteinuria can also first appear late in the course of the disease. ANCA Small-Vessel Vasculitis Granulomatosis with Polyangiitis (Wegener's) -Urine described as being smoky, cola colored, tea colored, or rusty. -Color dependent on the amount of blood in the urine and the pH. Hypertension -Third cardinal feature of poststreptococcal acute glomerulonephritis. -Reported in 50-90%of patients. Microscopic Polyangiitis Churg-Strauss Syndrome Membranoproliferative Glomerulonephritis Source: Harrison's PRINCIPLES OF INTERNAL MEDICINE Eighteenth Edition
