Q

acute post-streptococcal/postinfectious

  1. caused by
  2. most commonly after
  3. pathogenesis
  4. Gn presents
A
  1. caused by deposition of immune complexes
  2. most common after- strptococcal pharyngitis (group A beta-hemolytic Strep)
  3. pathogenesis: - subendothelial antigen (ag) depostion during infection anad antibody (ab) delivery during immune phase - subendothelial deposition of circulating Ag-Ab complexes
  4. GN presents 1-3 weeks after infection
