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.
