Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Acute glomerulonephritis is marked by proteinuria (protein in the urine), edema, and decreased urine volume. Hematuria can range from insignificant to a sudden onset of urine that is grossly bloody (gross hematuria). The urine may appear dark or may be described as coffee colored. Occurring most often in children and adolescents, this disease process usually follows a streptococcal infection by 1-2 weeks (post streptococcal glomerulonephritis). Hypertension related to altered renal function and fluid retention is possible, accompanied by headaches, visual disturbances, malaise, anorexia, and a low-grade fever. Flank or back pain develops as a result of swelling of the kidney tissue.
