Case Study: Johnny, a six-year-old child, is brought to the emergency room by his parents. They report that about two weeks ago he had a severe sore throat, and has never fully recovered. He complains of abdominal discomfort, and he is always tired. They have noticed that he has gained noticeable weight in the last few days, his abdomen and genitalia are swollen, and his urine is brownish. Blood pressure is 180/105, and blood tests show strep antibodies, hypoalbuminemia, and uremia. Urine tests reveal moderate proteinurea, hemauria and red cell casts. He is diagnosed with acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis.
