Glomerulo-nephritis, acute poststreptococcal: Signs and symptoms
(Handbook of Diseases)

APSGN begins within 1 to 3 weeks after untreated pharyngitis. Symptoms are 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) and inappropriate renin release. Heart failure from hypervolemia leads to pulmonary edema.

Glomerulo-nephritis, chronic: Signs and symptoms
(Handbook of Diseases)

Chronic glomerulonephritis usually develops insidiously and asymptomatically, commonly over many years. It may suddenly become progressive at any time, producing nephrotic syndrome, hypertension, proteinuria, and hematuria.

Late stages

In late stages, progressive chronic glomerulonephritis 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 kidney transplantation.
