Unlabelled: The most frequent cause of nephritic syndrome in the pediatric population is acute post-infectious glomerulonephritis (PIGN). A rare complication is posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), characterized by subcortical vasogenic cerebral edema associated with variable neurological symptoms. The development of autoimmune hemolytic anemia is an atypical clinical presentation.

Rationale: Infection-related glomerulonephritis (IRGN) is an immune-mediated glomerulonephritis caused by extra-renal infectious diseases. There has been an important shift in epidemiology in recent years, with a significant proportion of adults affected. The incidence of IRGN is higher amongst Indigenous populations and especially in those with multiple comorbidities.

Article Synopsis
- Kidney transplantation is the best treatment for end-stage kidney disease, but long-term success can be affected by issues like recurrence of native kidney diseases such as C3 glomerulopathy (C3GN).
- A case study documented a female kidney transplant recipient whose kidney function declined after 28 years due to two SARS-CoV-2 infections, alongside evidence of chronic rejection and features of C3GN in her recent biopsy.
- The findings suggest that C3GN may have recurred late in this patient as a result of complement activation triggered by the SARS-CoV-2 infections, indicating a potential new risk factor for post-transplant complications.

Objective: To compare the natural history of C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) to acute post-infectious glomerulonephritis (APIGN) in a cohort of patients with a relative homogeneity of environment conditions and genetic background.
Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the characteristics of all patients with biopsy proven C3G or APIGN referred in 2013-2019 to the only renal unit in French Polynesia.
Results: Point prevalence of C3G is ∼23 cases per 100,000 inhabitants.

Summary/introduction: Acute Glomerulonephritis (AGN) is one of the most common childhood renal diseases in Nigeria. Acute Post-infectious glomerulonephritis (APIGN)-typified by post-streptococcal AGN (PSGN)-is the commonest, usually developing 1-6 weeks after an infectious episode. Rarely, AGN may occur concurrently with the inciting infectious process and may go unnoticed by clinicians.
