Overview
Approximately 25% of patients with acute glomerulonephritis present with nephritic syndrome.[1] Acute glomerulonephritis accounts for 10-15% of glomerular diseases in the USA.[2] The reported incidence of glomerulonephritis in adults varies between 0.2 to 2.5/100,000 annually with a male to female ratio reaching 2 to 1.[3] The most common cause of glomerulonephritis worldwide is IgA nephropathy (Berger disease). Approximately 25-30% of patients eventually develop end-stage renal disease (ESRD).[3] The yearly variation of incidence of glomerulonephritis is not validated. While some studies report a decrease in the incidence due to improved healthcare and socioeconomic status, others report an increase in the reported incidence due to increased number of biopsies.[3] Additionally, the true incidence is difficult to predict because the disease might present subclinically.
