Abstract

• Acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN) is a disease thought to be induced by the renal deposition of circulating immune complexes. Clinical recovery usually ensues more than 80% of children. But the clinical course of acute glomerulonephritis in sporadic occurance and that of adult remain a matter of debate. There are long term follow-up reports in which rare cases of APSGN progressed to rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis and chronic glomerulonephritis.
  Recently we have experienced a case of APSGN with long oliguric phase ARF who recovered renal function after 6 months hemodialysis.
