Age less than or equal to 5 years (AOR = 3.2, 95% CI (1.5-7.3), Creatinine level > 1.3 mg/dl (AOR = 5.5,95% CI (2.5-11.7), blood urea nitrogen leve ≥ 119 mg/dl (AOR = 4.9,95% CI (1.1-19) and length of stay > 10 days(AOR = 2.6,95% CI (1.18-5.9) were statistically significant with poor outcome of children with post-streptococcal acute glomerulonephritis and management during admission to reduce poor treatment outcomes.
