Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Glomerulonephritis is commonly caused by an immune response triggered by previous infections, particularly with streptococcus bacteria. Therefore, a recent history of streptococcal infection is significant in establishing a client's risk for developing glomerulonephritis. Previous episodes of pyelonephritis, hyperparathyroidism, and osteoporosis are not directly related to the development of glomerulonephritis.
