Concomitant severe normocytic and normochromic anemia in poststreptococcal acute glomerulonephritis.
Although anemia frequently occurs in poststreptococcal acute glomerulonephritis (PSAGN), severe anemia is rare. We report severe normocytic, normochromic anemia (hematocrit, 19.8%) in PSAGN in a 6-year-old girl with edema, macrohematuria, and proteinuria for 1 month. The potential causes of severe anemia found in this case were: 1) longer duration of massive hematuria from onset of macrohemauri...

متن کاملNT-proBNP Levels in Children with Acute Poststreptococcal Glomerulonephritis
Acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN) is the most common prototype of acute glomerulonephritis in children, and is characterized by the sudden onset of gross hematuria, edema, hypertension and volume overload. Brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) is produced in both the brain and the heart. Its prohormone, proBNP, is cleaved to biologically active BNP and an inactive N-terminal peptide ...
متن کاملAcute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis: immune deposit disease.
The possible role of immunologic mechanisms in acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis was suggested in 1908 by Schick (2), who compared the delay in appearance of serum sickness after injection of heterologous serum to the latent period between scarlet fever and onset of acute glomerulonephritis. Evidence in support of this concept is the depression of serum complement during the early stag...
