CF PSGN
8-14 d after skin or pharynx w/ nephritogenic strian of GABHS. 28 days after impetigo.
Hematuria(gross), proteinuria, HTN, fluid overload.
Low complement
242.
Dx of PSGN
ASO titer
ADB titer
UA, serum complement, renal US, RFTs, serum albumin, serum cholesterol
243.
Tx of PSGN. Does abx help dec risk of PSGN? Rheumatic fever?
Fluid restriction, antihypertensive, dietary restrictions of protein, sodium, potassium, phosphorous.
Abx tx doesn't reduce risk of PSGN but will reduce risk of rheumatic fever
244.
