Atypical presentation of post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis in a child with genetically confirmed susceptibility to C3-glomerulopathy: a case report and brief review of the literature.

Abstract excerpt

BACKGROUND: Post-infectious glomerulonephritis (PIGN) is one of the leading causes of acute nephritis in children worldwide. C3 glomerulopathy (C3G) is a rare form of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) characterised by either genetic or acquired dysregulation of the alternative complement pathway resulting in predominant C3 deposition within the glomeruli.
