acute post streptococcal glomerulonephritis

How is APSGN Diagnosed?

Diagnosis of APSGN is based on clinical presentation, history of recent streptococcal infection, and laboratory tests. Key diagnostic tests include:
Urinalysis: Detects hematuria and proteinuria.
Blood tests: Elevated serum creatinine and blood urea nitrogen (BUN) levels indicate impaired kidney function. Low levels of complement proteins (C3) are common.
Antistreptolysin O (ASO) titer: Indicates recent streptococcal infection.
Throat culture or skin swab: Confirms presence of streptococcal bacteria.
