Article Synopsis
- Post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN) is a kidney condition often following streptococcal infections, prevalent among children in developing countries and characterized by symptoms like edema, hematuria, proteinuria, and hypertension.
- A study at a hospital in the Philippines analyzed 77 pediatric patients with APSGN over five years, finding high rates of edema and hypertension, and noting that 63.6% of hypertensive patients developed acute renal injury.
- The study concluded that while APSGN is common and serious, it was not associated with mortality in the observed cases, and many patients improved significantly with treatment.
