Post-infectious glomerulonephritis

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

In nephrology, post-infectious glomerulonephritis, previously known as post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis, is disorder of the glomeruli (glomerulonephritis) following an infection. It was once thought to be caused only by streptococci and was thus called post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis.

Post-infectious glomerulonephritis can be a complication of strep throat.
