Video Summary of Poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis
Poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis (PSGN) is a type of glomerulonephritis that is caused by a reaction to group A Streptococcus bacterial infection. PSGN is usually a complication of skin bacterial infections, typically by Streptococcus, but can also occur after streptococcal pharyngitis. Symptoms of PSGN may include swelling of the face, hands, and feet; dark, and foamy urine. Treatment for PSGN may include antibiotics to treat the underlying infection, steroids to reduce inflammation, and dialysis to manage kidney failure.
