History 10 year old male with 4 day history of hematuria, described as bright
red or dark red, not cola colored. No dysuria, no frequency or urgency He also complains of some mild abdominal pain Parents have also been concerned that he has been puffy. They

Mild diarrhea 4-5 days prior to presentation, which improved over2-3 days, none currently
Had cold symptoms 2-3 weeks prior to presentation
He was seen at an Urgent Care 2 days prior to admit diagnosedwith UTI and allergies and started on nitrofurantoin and givenbenadryl
Comes to ED for eval because he is not improving.

Post-Strep Glomerulonephritis
Hypertension, edema, proteinuria, hematuria M12 type most common cause of GN
Latent period is 1-2 weeks after infection toonset of GN
Immunoglobulins, complement present inglomerulus early in course lots of research has
looked for the nephritogenic antigen M Protein
Still controversy over true pathologicmechansim

Treatment
Antihypertensive is mainstay:
Loop diuretic + Na restriction
Calcium channel blockers
Question whether prompt treatment of strepinfection prevents PSGN, but unclear data

Follow-up
Follow C3 6 weeks out
Pt may have microscopic hematuria up to 1 yearfollowing diagnosis
If has a viral/mild infection shortly followingdiagnosis may develop gross hematuria

Prognosis
Typically very goodmost kids recover
(approx 90%)
However in more severe disease there can belingering symptoms for years.

Summary
PSGN complication of GAS can also causeRheumatic fever and necrotizing fascitis
Majority of patients should have a full recovery
Need to repeat labs 6 weeks post-diagnosis

A 10-year-old girl presents with cola-colored urine and mild
swelling of her legs that she initially noticed 12 hours ago. Her
mother reports that she had a sore throat 10 days ago, and thechange in urine color occurred yesterday evening. There is no
history of trauma, and the patient denies flank pain, frequency,
urgency, dysuria, or passing clots in the urine. On physical
exam, her blood pressure is 144/90 mmHg, and she has mild
swelling of the face and lower extremities.
Of the following the MOST appropriate next step is
A. echocardiography
B. renal and bladder ultrasonography C. serum creatinine
D. throat swab for rapid streptococcal antigen
E. urine culture

C. Serum Creatinine
First step in nephritic syndrome: check UA.
If hypocomplementemic, likely post-infectiousGN, need to assess renal function to determine ifchild warrants Nephrology consult and renalbiopsy.
