Abstract

The term acute glomerulonephritis syndrome refers to the clinical signs and symptoms that are typically observed in association with postinfectious diffuse endocapillary proliferation within glomeruli. The full-blown syndrome consists of the abrupt appearance of salt and water retention, edema, reduced urine output, circulatory congestion, hypertension, hematuria, proteinuria, and decreased filtration rate. All these manifestations do not necessarily occur in each instance of post-infectious glomerulonephritis. Urinary abnormalities, decreased filtration rate, and fluid retention are practically invariable. When these clinical features were thought to occur uniquely in association with diffuse proliferation of mesangial and endothelial cells, polymorphonuclear inflammatory cell reaction, and occasional extracapillary proliferation, which followed infection, the simple term acute nephritis was classically applied.
