Abstract

Nowadays sporadic cases and outbursts of acute post streptococcus glomerulonephritis are still registered. Albuminuria and decrease of glomerular filtration rate can persist for a long time after clinical remission of acute glomerulonephritis is achieved. Further studies of streptococcus features, including their genetic and phenotypic variability, as well as mediators, regulating processes of inflammation response in kidney tissue, let develop more effective pathogenetic approaches for acute glomerulonephritis prevention and treatment. Today acute glomerulonephritis can be considered as one of the determinants of chronic kidney disease
