Glomerulonephritis in children.
Children with glomerulonephritis may present with acute nephritic or nephrotic features. Glomerulonephritis may be a primary diagnosis or may be secondary to systemic illness. Children with persisting renal impairment, hypertension or proteinuria require careful investigation and assessment by a paediatric nephrologist.
