Your child may not feel sick, but if you know that your child had a sore throat or some other infection a couple of weeks before this urine color change, your child may have acute glomerulonephritis. (childrenscolorado.org)
However, if your child has blood in the urine that comes and goes, especially at times when he or she has an ongoing cold or some type of infection, they may not have acute glomerulonephritis, but IgA nephropathy instead. (childrenscolorado.org)

More than 80% of patients with pauci-immune rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis were subsequently found to have circulating antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (ANCAs), and, thus, this form of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis is now termed ANCA-associated vasculitis. (medscape.com)
In 1982, Davies et al first noted the presence of ANCAs in 8 patients with pauci-immune rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis and systemic vasculitis. (medscape.com)

The ubiquitous pathological feature of crescentic glomerulonephritis is a focal rupture of glomerular capillary walls that can be seen by light microscopy and electron microscopy. (medscape.com)
Several years later, the antiglomerular basement membrane (anti-GBM) antibody was discovered to produce a crescentic glomerulonephritis in sheep, and, following this discovery, the role of anti-GBM antibody in Goodpasture syndrome was elucidated. (medscape.com)
1986) reported a consanguineous Algerian family in which 2 brothers had early-onset glomerulonephritis with C3 deposits and low levels (less than 10% of normal) of complement factor H . The factor H deficiency was defined by undetectable complement hemolytic activity by the classic (CH50) and alternate (AP50) pathways, and low levels of C3 and factor B (138470). (findzebra.com)
Dense2
Most cases of dense deposit disease do not show a membranoproliferative pattern. (wikipedia.org)
There are two types of C3G due to the two types of damage that can be done to the kidneys: dense deposit disease (DDD and C3 glomerulonephritis (C3GN). (rareshare.org)

Renal biopsy revealed membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, with lobulated glomerular tufts, endocapillary proliferation, thickened basement membrane, and glomerular hyaline thrombi suggestive of cryoglobulin deposits. (who.int)
A distinct feature of these cases was the virtual absence of antibody deposition after immunofluorescence staining of the biopsy specimens, which led to the label pauci-immune rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. (medscape.com)
Pauci-immune1
Rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis is classified pathologically into three categories, as follows: (1) anti-GBM antibody disease (approximately 3% of cases), (2) immune complex disease (45% of cases), and (3) pauci-immune disease (50% of cases). (medscape.com)
