Introduction: In developing countries like Bangladesh, post-infectious glomerulonephritis (PIGN) is the common form ofacute glomerulonephritis having its changing pattern over recent decades. The aim of the study was to analyze the clinicalprofile of PIGN in local scenario. Materials and Methods: This cross-sectional study was conducted at Shaheed Sheikh AbuNaser Specialized Hospital, Khulna during period from 2017 to 2019. A total of 67 cases of PIGN were identified on thebasis of clinical features, laboratory parameters with recent history of infection. The patients’ records were reviewed withrespect to clinical data. Patients with reduced complement level were included. Result: The age range of the patients wasbetween 2 and 55 years with male predominance. The study revealed that 32.8% of patients had a recent history of sorethroat, 31.3 % of patients had a history of skin infection and rest 35% had a history of fever. Moreover, during presentation68% of patients had hypertension and 37 % of patient had renal impairment. In this study, majority of patients (53%)presented with one plus to two plus proteinuria and the rest of the patients (37%) presented with three plus proteinuria ondipstick. After 2 weeks of follow up, the presence of hematuria found in 58 patients out of 67, proteinuria found in 14patients out of 61 and renal impairment found in 5 patients out of 25. Conclusion: PIGN has been changing with respect toage, proteinuria and renal function. To follow-up periodically and reduction in overcrowding of the patients, would be oneof the superior suggestions to reduce the spread of infectious diseases in our country.

Background: Acute glomerulonephritis is a common pediatric kidney disease which places a huge burden in developing countries. This study aimed to evaluate causes, clinical manifestations, laboratory findings and complications of acute glomerulonephritis in children presented to a tertiary care center of Nepal. Methods: This was a retrospective review of records of children admitted with acute glomerulonephritis at Chitwan Medical College from April 2018 to February 2021. Socio-demographic data, clinic-laboratory profile and outcomes were obtained from medical records and descriptive analysis was carried out. Results: Among 48 recruited children with acute glomerulonephritis, 60.4% were male and the mean age was 9.5 ± 3.7 years. Post infectious glomerulonephritis including post streptococcal glomerulonephritis (48%) was the main cause of acute glomerulonephritis. The major clinical features were edema (81.3%), hypertension (72.9%), dyspnea (29.2%) and hematuria (25%). ASO titer was positive in 45.8%. The complications noted were acute kidney injury (6.3%), hypertensive emergency (6.3%) and congestive cardiac failure (2.1%). Conclusions: Most of the patients were above 5 years of age and presented most commonly during autumn and summer season. The complications of acute glomerulonephritis were acute kidney injury, hypertensive emergency and congestive cardiac failure.

Acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN) is a part of acute nephritic syndrome characterized by gross hematuria, edema, hypertension, and renal insufficiency. This APSGN is common in children, caused by infection of Streptococcus β-hemoliticus group A nephritogenic strain, and 97% of cases were in developing countries including Indonesia. This study was aimed to obtain the risk factors of APSGN and their association with APSGN. This was a retrospective descriptive study with a cross sectional design. Samples were medical record data of Prof. Dr. R. D. Kandou Hospital Manado during the period of January 2013-October 2017. There were 67 samples in this study consisted of 48 (71.6%) cases of APSGN and 19 (25.3%) cases without APSGN. The bivariate analysis found five variables related to APSGN incidence, as followed: male gender (P =0.005), age ≥5 years (P=0.000), low socioeconomic status (P=0.000), good nutrition (P =0.000), and rainy season (P=0.005). Parents’ education was not related to APSGN incidence. Conclusion: The risk factors of APSGN in children were male gender, age ≥5 years, low socioeconomic status, good nutritional status, and rainy season.Keywords: APSGN, risk factors, childrenAbstrak: Glomerulonefritis akut pasca streptokokus (GNAPS) adalah bagian dari sindrom nefrotik akut (SNA) yang ditandai dengan gross hematuria, edema, hipertensi, dan insufisiensi ginjal. Gangguan ini sering terjadi pada anak-anak, disebabkan oleh infeksi kuman Streptococcus β-hemolyticus group A strain nephritogenic, dan 97% kasus terjadi di negara berkembang termasuk Indonesia. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui faktor risiko GNAPS dan hubungan faktor risiko tersebut dengan kejadin GNAPS. Jenis peneltiian ialah deskriptif retrospektif dengan desain potong lintang. Pengambilan sampel menggunakan data rekam medik RSUP Prof. R. D. Kandou Manado periode Januari 2013-Oktober 2017. Terdapat 67 sampel terdiri dari 48 (71,6%) kasus GNAPS dan 19 (25,3%) kasus yang tidak mengalami GNAPS. Berdasarkan analisis bivariat di temukan 5 varibel yang berhubungan dengan kejadian GNAPS yaitu jenis kelamin laki-laki P=0,005), usia ≥5 tahun (P=0,000), status sosial ekonomi rendah (P=0,000), gizi baik (P=0,000), dan musim hujan (P=0,005). Faktor risiko yang tidak berhubungan dengan kejadian GNAPS ialah pendidikan orang tua (P=0,20). Simpulan: Faktor risiko GNAPS pada anak ialah jenis kelamin laki-laki, usia ≥5 tahun, status sosial ekonomi rendah, status gizi, dan musim hujan.Kata Kunci: GNAPS, faktor risiko, anak
