title: Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis in a fifteen-month-old boy.
abstract: A 15-month-old boy presented with hypertension, edema, heavy proteinuria, gross hematuria and renal insufficiency. A renal biopsy was consistent with classical membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis type I. Although usually thought of as a disease in older children and young adults, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis can occur as early as the second year of life.
