Poststreptococcal Glomerulonephritis
Poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis is an inflammation of the small filters of the kidney (glomeruli) that can appear weeks after a streptococcal infection, such as pharyngitis or a skin infection.
Frequent symptoms:
- Dark or reddish urine
- Swelling in the face, legs, or eyelids
- Decrease in the amount of urine
When to see a doctor? An evaluation is advisable if, after an infection, swelling, changes in the urine, or elevated blood pressure appear, especially in children.
Which specialist treats it? The nephrologist, and in children the pediatric nephrologist, is the reference professional, in coordination with the pediatrician. Addressing these signs with a professional makes it possible to properly care for kidney function.
