A child with persistent proteinuria developed acute glomerulonephritis (AGN) superimposed on focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS). The AGN episode likely worsened the underlying FSGS, leading to end-stage renal failure.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Nephrology
  • Glomerular Diseases

Background:

  • A 9-year-old boy presented with asymptomatic proteinuria detected via school screening.
  • He later developed hematuria and hypocomplementemia, prompting medical evaluation.

Observation:

  • Initial renal biopsy showed diffuse endocapillary proliferative glomerulonephritis with tubulointerstitial damage.
  • Hematuria and hypocomplementemia resolved, but proteinuria persisted.

Findings:

  • A follow-up biopsy revealed advanced focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS).
  • Despite corticosteroid treatment, proteinuria continued, progressing to end-stage renal failure.

Implications:

  • The case suggests acute glomerulonephritis (AGN) superimposed on pre-existing non-nephrotic FSGS.
