*Age 5-12 are most susceptible
*Uninsured individuals who are not as likely to seek treatment for initial strep infection.]]> 2023-10-09 19:42:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jbunk9538_/rn75cr9e8ou5fvhf/wish/2738703486 jbunk9538_ https://padlet.com/jbunk9538_/rn75cr9e8ou5fvhf/wish/2738715400 HAD STREP acronym to remember clinical signs and symptoms

H-hypertension (due to renal impairment)
A-anti streptolysin titer (will be positive)
D-decreased GFR (low urine output)
S-swelling (face & eyes, mostly in morning)
T-tea or cola colored urine (hematuria)
R-recent strep infection
E-elevated BUN/creatinine (low urine flow)
P- proteinuria (inflammation in kidneys)]]> 2023-10-09 19:53:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jbunk9538_/rn75cr9e8ou5fvhf/wish/2738715400 jbunk9538_ https://padlet.com/jbunk9538_/rn75cr9e8ou5fvhf/wish/2738718910 Post Streptococcal Glomerulonephritis conforms to the typical presentation of a type III hypersensitivity reaction in that antigen-antibody complexes are deposited in the glomeruli of the kidneys causing inflammation, pain, swelling and fever. In addition, blood serum levels of patients with the condition show aggressive activation of the complement system, another hallmark of a type III hypersensitivity. ]]> 2023-10-09 19:56:13 UTC https://padlet.com/jbunk9538_/rn75cr9e8ou5fvhf/wish/2738718910 jbunk9538_ https://padlet.com/jbunk9538_/rn75cr9e8ou5fvhf/wish/2742214657 The underlying pathophysiologic mechanism for poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis is inflammation causing tissue destruction. Nephritis associated plasmin receptors bind to glomeruli and damage the basement membrane. These receptors are produced as an immune response following a streptococcal infection.]]> 2023-10-11 17:24:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jbunk9538_/rn75cr9e8ou5fvhf/wish/2742214657 jbunk9538_ https://padlet.com/jbunk9538_/rn75cr9e8ou5fvhf/wish/2745650306 -Management of swelling and hypertension
*Low sodium/potassium diet
*Restricted fluid intake
*Increased calcium in diet (prevents      kidney stone formation)
*Decrease protein intake
*Use of diuretic medication

-Treatment of lingering streptococcal infection
*Penicillin ]]> 2023-10-13 19:51:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jbunk9538_/rn75cr9e8ou5fvhf/wish/2745650306 https://padlet.com/jbunk9538_/rn75cr9e8ou5fvhf/wish/2747129847 2023-10-15 23:10:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jbunk9538_/rn75cr9e8ou5fvhf/wish/2747129847
