Question

post - streptococcal glomerulonephritis presents as which of the following?
acute renal failure
nephritic syndrome
nephrotic syndrome
chronic renal failure

Explanation:

Post - streptococcal glomerulonephritis is a type of glomerulonephritis. Nephritic syndrome is characterized by hematuria, proteinuria, hypertension, and renal insufficiency, and post - streptococcal glomerulonephritis typically presents as nephritic syndrome. Acute renal failure is a more severe and often acute decline in renal function, not the typical presentation of post - streptococcal glomerulonephritis. Nephrotic syndrome is characterized by massive proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, edema, and hyperlipidemia, which is not the case here. Chronic renal failure is a long - term, progressive loss of renal function, and post - streptococcal glomerulonephritis is an acute condition.

Answer:

B. Nephritic syndrome
