Acute pyelonephritis:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Typical clinical features include urgency, frequency, burning during urination, dysuria, nocturia, and hematuria (usually microscopic but may be gross). Urine may appear cloudy and have an ammonia-like or fishy odor. Other common symptoms include a temperature of 102° F (38.9° C) or higher, shaking chills, flank pain, anorexia, and general fatigue.
These symptoms characteristically develop rapidly over a few hours or a few days. Although these symptoms may disappear within days, even without treatment, residual bacterial infection is likely and may cause symptoms to recur later.
ELDER TIP Elderly patients may exhibit altered mental status or GI or pulmonary symptoms rather than the usual febrile responses to pyelonephritis.
PEDIATRIC TIP In children younger than age 2, fever, vomiting, nonspecific abdominal complaints, or failure to thrive may be the only signs of acute pyelonephritis.

Nephrotic syndrome:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
The dominant clinical feature of nephrotic syndrome is mild to severe dependent edema of the ankles or sacrum, or periorbital edema, especially in children. Edema may lead to ascites, pleural effusion, and swollen external genitalia. Accompanying symptoms may include orthostatic hypotension, lethargy, anorexia, depression, and pallor. Major complications are malnutrition, infection, coagulation disorders, thromboembolic vascular occlusion, and accelerated atherosclerosis.

Acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
APSGN begins within 1 to 3 weeks after untreated pharyngitis. Symptoms include mild to moderate edema, oliguria (less than 400 ml/24 hours), proteinuria, azotemia, hematuria, and fatigue. Mild to severe hypertension may result from either sodium or water retention (due to decreased GFR) or inappropriate renin release. Heart failure from hypervolemia leads to pulmonary edema.
PEDIATRIC TIP The presenting features of APSGN in children may be encephalopathy with seizures and focal neurological deficits.

Chronic glomerulonephritis:
Signs and symptoms
(Professional Guide to Diseases (Eighth Edition))
Chronic glomerulonephritis typically develops insidiously and asymptomatically, usually over many years. At any time, however, it may suddenly become progressive, producing nephrotic syndrome, hypertension, proteinuria, and hematuria. In late stages of progressive chronic glomerulonephritis, it may accelerate to uremic symptoms, such as azotemia, nausea, vomiting, pruritus, dyspnea, malaise, and fatigability. Mild to severe edema and anemia may accompany these symptoms. Severe hypertension may cause cardiac hypertrophy, leading to heart failure, and may accelerate the development of advanced renal failure, eventually necessitating dialysis or transplantation.

Nephrotic syndrome:
Signs and symptoms
(Handbook of Diseases)
The dominant sign of nephrotic syndrome is mild to severe dependent edema of the ankles or sacrum, or periorbital edema, especially in children. Such edema may lead to ascites, pleural effusion, weight gain, and high blood pressure. (See Pathophysiology of nephrotic syndrome.)
Accompanying signs and symptoms include orthostatic hypotension, lethargy, anorexia, depression, and pallor. Major complications are malnutrition, infection, coagulation disorders, thromboembolic vascular occlusion, and accelerated atherosclerosis.
