| Leading causes of kidney failure are diabetes, followed by hypertension, glomerulonephritis, and cystic kidney and urologic diseases. |
|
| There was even less of a clue with regard to their implication in the pathogenesis of rheumatic fever and glomerulonephritis. |
|
| As in streptococcal pharyngitis, acute rheumatic fever and poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis most often occur in children. |
|
| Acute rheumatic fever and poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis are the nonsuppurative complications of streptococcal pharyngitis. |
|
| Post-infectious glomerulonephritis has also been associated with other bacterial, viral, parasitic, rickettsial and fungal infections. |
|
| The classic presentation of poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis is a full-blown nephritic syndrome with oliguric acute renal failure. |
|
| If glomerulonephritis does not respond to treatment, the glomeruli may slowly be destroyed. |
|
| A child who develops acute glomerulonephritis has fever, blood in the urine, puffiness in the face, and, occasionally, high blood pressure. |
|
| Septic arthritis and acute glomerulonephritis have occurred following ear piercing, and infectious endocarditis has been reported after body piercing. |
|
| Necrotizing crescentic glomerulonephritis is an ANCAassociated vasculitis that is confined to the kidneys. |
|
| Lupus nephritis is a common cause of glomerulonephritis and is an important cause of chronic kidney disease. |
|
| Untreated strep can lead to rheumatic fever, acute glomerulonephritis or rarely, meningitis. |
|
| More recently, it has been discovered that many different abnormalities in the genes of the body can also lead to the development of glomerulonephritis. |
|
| In summary, glomerulonephritis can lead to renal failure within a few weeks or months, after many years of symptom-free proteinuria, or after a period of massive proteinuria, which causes the nephrotic syndrome. |
|
| A curious form of glomerulonephritis especially common in children is associated with little structural glomerular damage, at least as seen by the ordinary light microscope. |
|
| Necrosis of the small and middle sized vessels, granuloma in nose, lung and kidney, involvement of the eye, the lung, the upper respiratory tract, glomerulonephritis, arthralgia. |
|
| Goodpasture's Syndrome, a disease of unknown origin, is characterized by the triad of pulmonary hemorrhage, glomerulonephritis, and circulating antibody to basement membrane antigens. |
|
| The presence of glomerulonephritis is difficult to detect. |
|
| It's the reason I'm a doctor: I ended up with acute glomerulonephritis and on a salt-free diet for three months when I was in grade nine, and I felt that no one else should have to live through that. |
|
| All animals with glomerulonephritis had high levels of anti-natalizumab antibodies and evidence of immune complex formation and complement activation. |
