Reflux nephropathy complicated by acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis
The International Journal of Pediatric Nephrology
|June 1, 1983
Summary
Acute renal failure in a child with vesicoureteral reflux was caused by post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis. This condition worsened the prognosis, necessitating dialysis and highlighting the need to consider glomerular causes in reflux nephropathy.
Area of Science:
- Pediatric Nephrology
- Glomerular Diseases
- Renal Failure Etiology
Background:
- Vesicoureteral reflux (VUR) is a common condition in children.
- Acute renal failure (ARF) in VUR patients typically suggests infection or obstruction.
- Glomerular diseases are less commonly considered in ARF with VUR.
