title: [Post-infectious glomerulonephritis: unusual etiology of postpartum acute renal failure].
abstract: Severe pre-eclampsia and acute tubular necrosis due to hemorrhagic shock are the major causes of postpartum acute renal failure. Cortical necrosis and haemolytic uraemic syndrome are less frequently. Post-infectious glomerulonephritis as a cause of postpartum acute glomerular disease and renal failure has been rarely reported. We report a patient with postpartum acute glomerulonephritis who presented nephritic syndrome, the diagnosis of which was confirmed by renal biopsy.
