Acute Glomerulonephritis in a Pediatric Patient: A Case Study Emphasizing Early Recognition and Management
Acute glomerulonephritis (AGN) is a renal condition marked by inflammation of the glomeruli, commonly following streptococcal infections. This case study highlights the clinical presentation, diagnostic evaluation, and management of a 14-year-old male presenting with fever, facial puffiness, and hematuria. Early diagnosis and evidence-based treatment protocols are emphasized as crucial factors in preventing complications such as hypertensive encephalopathy and renal failure.
