Postinfectious acute glomerulonephritis
Néphrologie & Thérapeutique , 05/05/09
Garnier A et al. - Postinfectious acute glomerulonephritis mostly happens in children aged two to 10 years old. There is a latent period of one to three weeks before nephritic syndrome appears. By contrast, salt and water retention can be severe and complicated with hypertension, congestive heart failure or pulmonary edema. Fluid overload must be urgently treated by loop diuretics or renal replacement therapy in the most severe cases.
