Girl with garland‐pattern poststreptococcal acute glomerulonephritis presenting with renal failure and nephrotic syndrome

Complete recovery occurs in more than 95% of children with poststreptococcal acute glomerulonephritis (PSAGN). However, some patients with acute renal failure (RF) or nephrotic syndrome (NS) present with chronic renal insuffi ciency. 1 – 5 In this study, we report a girl with garland-pattern PSAGN who presented with RF and NS and had clinical and histological improvement by plasmapheresis (PP) and methylprednisolone pulse therapy.
