Clinical Manifestations of Acute Glomerulonephritis

The clinical manifestations of acute glomerulonephritis can primarily be summarized as follows: 1. Urinary abnormalities: hematuria (gross or microscopic), proteinuria, and increased foaming in the urine. 2. Edema: commonly observed in the face and eyelids, potentially spreading to the entire body, especially the lower extremities. 3. Hypertension: mild to moderate elevation, often transient. 4. Renal dysfunction: a minority of patients may experience transient kidney impairment, manifested as elevated serum creatinine levels. 5. General symptoms: fatigue, back pain, and general malaise; some patients may also present with preceding infection symptoms such as sore throat. These symptoms typically appear 2–3 weeks after streptococcal infection and vary in severity. Immediate medical consultation is recommended if suspicion arises.
