Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Untreated streptococcal infections can lead to glomerulonephritis, a disorder characterized by inflammation and damage to the small blood vessels in the kidneys. This can lead to kidney failure, hypertension, and other serious complications. Renal calculi (A) are kidney stones and are not directly caused by streptococcal infections. Urethritis (C) and cystitis (D) are both infections of the urinary tract and are not commonly associated with streptococcal infections. Nocturia (E) is a symptom of frequent urination at night and is not directly related to streptococcal infections.
