Post-streptococcal acute glomerulonephritis in children: Association between proteinuria levels and renal outcomes
High-degree proteinuria was significantly associated with elevated serum creatinine (> 100 μmol/L) in children with PSAGN. The majority of children with persistent proteinuria ≥ 2+ for more than 2 weeks and the highest recorded serum creatinine > 100 μmol/L had atypical renal histological findings.
