Overview
Natural History, Complications, and Prognosis
Natural History
- The symptoms of post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis typically develop one to three weeks after exposure to group A streptococcal throat infection and 3 to 6 weeks after group A streptococcal skin infection.
- If left untreated, patients with post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis may progress to develop renal failure.[1]
Complications
Common complications of post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis include:[2][3][4]
- Severe nephritis
- Renal failure
- Atypical hemolytic uremic syndrome
- Refractory hypoxic respiratory failure
- Seizures
Prognosis
- Prognosis is generally excellent.[5][6]
- Some people develop recurrent proteinuria and renal dysfunction 10 to 40 years after the presentation.[7]
- Age and presence of comorbidities are the most important prognostic factors for PSGN.
- Children have an excellent prognosis with a <1% rate of azotemia, and a 3-10% rate of non-nephrotic range proteinuria, microhematuria, and hypertension.
- The prognosis of PSGN in children might vary depending on individual co-morbidities, such as diabetes, obesity, and low birth weight.[5]
- Elderly patients with PSGN who often have co-morbidities have a comparatively much poorer prognosis with a 60% rate of azotemia, 40% rate of congestive heart failure, and 20% rate of nephrotic syndrome.[8][9]
