Early Recovery of Acute Kidney Injury in a 14-Year-Old Boy with Steroid-Dependent Nephrotic Syndrome with MesPGN and Crescentic Glomerulonephritis

Abstract

Acute kidney injury (AKI) is one of the common complications of steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (SSNS) in children. Therefore, many factors are associated with to development of AKI in SSNS like hypovolemia, infection, use of multiple drugs, and histopathological pattern of the disease process itself. Here, we are reporting a 14-and-half-year-old boy of steroid-dependent nephrotic syndrome and histopathologically mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis with crescentic glomerulonephritis who developed AKI, which was rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis like presentation 11 years after the diagnosis of nephrotic syndrome.
