DISCUSSION
Glomerulonephritis is a general term that is used to explain several
kinds of kidney disease that have glomerular proliferation and
inflammation because of an immunological process. Acute Post
Streptococcal Glomerulonephritis (APSGN) is the most common cause of
acute glomerulonephritis on children. Acute Post Streptococcal
Glomerulonephritis (APSGN) is marked by sudden onset of combined
symptoms of gross hematuria, periorbital swelling, hypertension, and
1,2
previous streptococcal infection.
Acute Post Streptococcal Glomerulonephritis (APSGN) is a
Glomerular disease that is mediated by the immunity complex with the
activation of alternative complement pathway caused by previous acute
pharyngeal infection or skin infection by group A β-hemolytic
streptococcus.2 Latent period between infection and the onset of APSGN
therapy and the prognosis of APSGN is mostly good, with 6-8 weeks
period of recovery.3,4
It is usually acquired from history taking information that there are
pyoderma (3 weeks) caused by group A β-hemolytic streptococcus strain
2,49,55,57,60 or there are presence of pharyngitis (1-2 weeks) caused by
group A β-hemolytic streptococcus strain 1,3,4,12,25,49. Clinical
manifestation usually varies from asymptomatic form either sporadic
endemic. Although rare, APSGN can show severe renal disorder with
rapid progressive Glomerulonephritis.3-5
The incidence of APSGN has increased in the low social economic
group, this is associated with bad hygiene and the long distance of
medical service location. Acute Post Streptococcal Glomerulonephritis
(APSGN) can occur in all ages, but occurred more often in children,
usually at the age of 2-6 years, and rarely occurred on children younger
than 2 years, and older than 25 years. The study in Indonesia indicated
that the age distribution of APSGN is 2.5 years to 15 years with the

Local Board Examination, Makassar, November 11th 2021 Page 25


average age of 8.45 years with the male children and female children ratio
of 1.4 : 1.4,5
Acute Post Streptococcal Glomerulonephritis consists of 3 phase.
The latent phase, acute phase, and recovery phase. The latent phase is a
phase between in the occurrence of streptococcal infection until the
appearance of clinical symptoms. Clinical symptoms usually appear 7-14
days after upper airway tract infection or 3-6 weeks after pioderma. The
acute phase is a phase where the patient starts to show symptoms of
Nephritic Syndrome such as proteinuria, hematuria, azotemia, oligouria,
and hypertension. The recovery phase is indicated with the improvement
of clinical symptoms and laboratory results.6-8
The diagnostic criteria of APSGN according to the Nephrology
consensus of IPS (Indonesian Pediatric Society) is : (1) if there are
encounters of hypertension, edema, and oligouria symptoms which is the
typical symptoms of APSGN, (2) if the laboratory examination for
supporting clinical diagnosis have results of increased anti-streptolysin
titer O and decreased C3 accompanied with the presence of total
erythrocyte, hematuria or proteinuria, (3) Diagnosis is established if there
are findings of group A β-hemolytic streptococcus on the microbiological
culture examination.5 According to Papanagnau et al 9, if there are
nephritic symptoms like proteinuria, hematuria, hypertension, edema, and
oligouria on a child, the diagnosis of APSGN can be established.
Based on the information acquired from the history taking of this
patient, there are complains history of seizures. He had cough and sore
throat since 1 week ago, and there was skin lessions 3 weeks before
admitted to the hospital. There was of dark colored since urine 3 days
before admitted. There was history of edema in face and eyelid 3 days
before and then from vital sign we found there was hypertension. From
laboratory examination there were increased of ASTO 607 IU/ml (<200
IU/ml), decreased of C3 Complement : 11,3 mg/dl and urinalysis showed
reddish colored urine, Leucocytes: (-), Protein: 300 (+3), Blood: 200 (+3),

microscopic sediment: Erythrocytes: 1569/hpf, Leucocytes: 5/hpf,
Bacteria: 5, Crystal: normal.
Multicenter studies in Indonesia shows that there are 46-100% of
microscopic hematuria, while there are microscopic hematuria ranging
from 84-100%. Macroscopic hematuria usually occurs in first week and
can last a few weeks. Microscopic hematuria can occur longer, usually
disappearing in 6 months, so microscopic hematuria is sometimes
encountered even when the clinical symptoms has disappeared. 3-5 Yu et
al10 reports symptoms and clinical signs obtained from children with
APSGN (table 1). The most common symptoms is gross hematuria
(66.7%) and the most common clinical sign is hypertension (48.1%).

APSGN most commonly occurs in children two to 12 years of age


11,12
, with the clinical onset one to three weeks following Group A
streptococcal (GAS) positive pharyngitis or three to six weeks after GAS
impetigo11,12. Because post infectious nephritic syndrome is
indistinguishable from different antecedent infectious etiologies, diagnosis
of APSGN relies on documentation of preceding GAS infection. 13

Local Board Examination, Makassar, November 11th 2021 Page 27


In this patient is preceded with a history of recurrent respiratory
tract infection and history skin lessions 3 weeks ago. It is compatible with
the study conducted by Sepahi et all in Iran on 94 children with APSGN
that has previous infection, consisting of 92 children with upper airway
tract infection (painful swallowing or Pharyngitis) and 2 children with a
history of skin infection.14

Group A beta hemolytic streptococcus infection in the body can


cause the antibody response that can be proved with increased Anti-
streptolysin titer O (ASTO). Although ASTO is more commonly used,
evaluations shows that other serological test can increase the possibilities
of a positive test up 95-96% if the patient doesn’t produce high levels of
antibody on one or more extracellular enzyme. 12,13 In this patient we found
ASTO level was increased 607 IU/ml (< 200 IU/ml). ASTO is increase in
10-14 days after infection and the highest escalation happened 3 weeks
after streptococcal infection and will eventually decrease. 14

Other Clinical manifestation of APSGN is edema and hypertension.


Edema is found on 85% cases, especially on the periorbital area (76,3%),
the face, extremities even the entire body. The edema usually occurred
suddenly where it is visible the first time on the periorbital area primarily
while waking up in the morning and disappears in the afternoon after the
patient have conducted several activities. This edema is caused by a
retention of Sodium and water caused by a damage in the glomerulus that
causes excessive fluid. 15,16

In the Fourth Report, “normal blood pressure” was defined as SBP


and DBP values <90th percentile (on the basis of age, sex, and height
percentiles). For the preadolescent, “prehypertension” was defined as
SBP and/or DBP ≥90th percentile and <95th percentile (on the basis of
age, sex, and height tables). For adolescents, “prehypertension” was
defined as BP ≥120/80 mm Hg to <95th percentile, or ≥90th and <95th
percentile, whichever was lower. HTN was defined as average clinic

Local Board Examination, Makassar, November 11th 2021 Page 28


measured SBP and/or DBP ≥95th percentile (on the basis of age, sex, and
height percentiles) and was further classified as stage 1 or stage 2 HTN.
There are still no data to identify a specific level of BP in childhood that
leads to adverse CV outcomes in adulthood. Therefore, the subcommittee
decided to maintain a statistical definition for childhood HTN. The staging
criteria have been revised for stage 1 and stage 2 HTN for ease of
implementation compared with the Fourth Report. For children ≥13 years
of age, this staging scheme will seamlessly interface with the 2017 AHA
and American College of Cardiology (ACC) adult HTN guideline.*
Additionally, the term “prehypertension” has been replaced by the term
“elevated blood pressure,” to be consistent with the AHA and ACC
guideline and convey the importance of lifestyle measures to prevent the
development of HTN (see Table 2).34

Table 2. Updated Definitions of BP Categories and Stages

In this patient we found blood pressure 140/100 mmHg with 50 th


percentile 93/56 mmHg, 90th percentile 107/69 mmHg, 95th percentile
110/72 mmHg and 95th+12mmHg percentile 122/84 mmHg. It means that this
patient has grade II hypertension. Hypertension is found in up to 90% of
patients and 10% may have neurological symptoms, but only few present
hypertensive encephalopathy (HTE). 7% of children with
glomerulonephritis showed clinical presentations of encephalopathy. The
clinical presentation includes acute lethargy, confusion, visual impairment
(including blindness) and seizures. Seizures may be the main symptom

Local Board Examination, Makassar, November 11th 2021 Page 29


that occurs as a focal crisis, a generalized crisis or a focal crisis with
secondary tonic/ clonic generalization.35

The predominant trend in pediatric antihypertensive management is


towards increasing reliance on angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors
and calcium channel blockers because of their general effectiveness, low
incidence of adverse reactions and potential specific benefit in patients
with renal disease. There was an obvious difference between the effects
of two investigated antihypertensives. Nifedipine reduced both systolic BP
and diastolic BP much earlier than captopril (p <0.05). The time required
for BP to become below 95 th percentile in this study was much higher in
Captopril group than in Nifedipine group. There was also a significant
difference regarding the duration of antihypertensive therapy (p<0.05).
Captopril had to be given for almost double time than that of Nifedipine
(p<0.005). It is obvious from the study that Nifedipine controlled BP earlier,
much less costly and reduced the duration of hospital stay than captopril.
For the control of hypertension in AGN patients, Nifedipine is a better
drug.35(Level of evidence 1B, recommendation A). But in this case
captopril is used as an antiproteinuria therapy and antihypertension.

Proteinuria can also be found on APSGN patients qualitatively


ranging from negative proteinuria to +2, rarely up to +3. On this case, early
presentation of the disease shows that there are qualitative proteinuria on
APSGN varying from a few weeks until a few months after the clinical
Symptoms disappeared. With 6 months as the limit, if proteinuria is still
found for more than 6 months, then it is called persistent proteinuria that
shows the possibility of a Chronic Glomerulonephritis that needs renal
biopsy.17

Serum Complement is mostly decreased on APSGN, because it


also has a role on the antigen-antibody process after streptococcal and
britogenic infection. Among the complement systems in the body,
Complement C3 is the most examined complement. The level of C3 on

Local Board Examination, Makassar, November 11th 2021 Page 30


ADSGN decreases during the acute phase as much as 80-92% cases,
then it returns to normal after 8 weeks of the symptoms' appearance. On
this patient complement C3 level was decreased (11,3 mg/dl). Qian et al18
found that In the past 2 years, a total of 78 patients were admitted to their
department with APSGN. They were found that 3 of those patients had
normal plasma C3 levels. In fact, other infectious agents can also cause
acute glomerulonephritis, so the diagnosis can be broader to be called
post-infectious glomerulonephritis. Normal C3 has been well described in
some 10% of such patients. We need to notice this during our clinical
work. Welch19 said in his article that the importance of a timely
measurement of C3 cannot be overstressed in APSGN because the
hypocomplementemia is evanescent, typically normal in six to eight weeks.
But the first plasma C3 levels of these three patients were gotten at the
fifth day, third day, sixth day from the symptoms, the time points seemed
to be suitable, and they were all in the normal range. Thus, the importance
of a timely measurement of C3 cannot be overstressed not only because
of the hypocomplementemia is evanescent but also the C3 level will not
always decrease absolutely. We currently believe that the pathogenesis of
APSGN is due to multi streptococcal antigen and a host antibody response
to the formation of soluble complexes, which cannot be removed by the
glomeruli and activate the complement system. Some studies19,20 indicate
that an alternative pathway of complement activity is the most important
prognosis of APSGN. We also observed strong endocapillary deposit of
C3 shown by immunofluorescence, suggesting that an alternative
complement pathway is involved in the leading cause of morbidity. Further
studies are required to determine why acute phase C3 levels still remained
within the normal range.18

Oliguria is a condition that is rarely encountered on APSGN (5-


10%) with the urine production of less than 0.8 ml/kg body weight/ hour.
On this patient, there are no findings of decreased urine volume. Daily

Local Board Examination, Makassar, November 11th 2021 Page 31


diuresis is above 1 ml/kg body weight/ hour. Oliguria can become anuria
that shows severe glomerular damage with a bad prognosis. 4

Decreased kidney function can occur in patients with APSGN.


Decreased kidney function occurs due to glomerular inflammation thereby
decreasing glomerular function in filtration process. Pathological findings
of renal tissue are found in endothelial diffuse hypercellular and mesangial
cells with polymorphonuclear cell infiltration of the glomerulus. Capillary
endothelial hypercellularity leads to a reduction in capillary lumen which
correlates with the severity of renal insufficiency. The study by Chung et
al, found that this hypercellularity is more due to infiltrate infiltration
reducing the capillary lumen further. This causes the reabsorption process
in the proximal tubules to decrease. This situation eventually causes the
reabsorption process in the distal tubules to increase and water and salt
retention occurs so that the amount of urine production decreases and
oliguria occurs until anuria is reversible when given adequate early
handling. 23

In a multicenter study in Indonesia, it was reported that acute renal


injury (AKI) occurred in 10% of APSGN patients, 19 In AKI patients, the
diagnosis was made by anamnesis, physical examination, and
investigation. Acute kidney injury is diagnosed after diuresis reduction,
elevated serum urea and creatinine levels. Acute post streptococcal
glomerulonephritis itself is one of the main causes of AKI. Acute kidney
injury is a condition in which there is sudden decrease in renal function,
characterized by high serum urea, creatinine and renal inability to regulate
fluid and electrolyte homeostasis.21

The decrease of renal function varies depending on the severity of


acute renal impairment. The term of AKI is accompanied by various
factors that affect the stage of acute renal impairment called RIFLE (Risk –

Local Board Examination, Makassar, November 11th 2021 Page 32


Injury - Failure - Loss - End stage kidney disease). Acute renal injury in
these patients is determined by a decrease in LFG > 25% or serum
creatinine increased by 1.5 times the initial condition or urine output <0.5
ml/kg/hour for 12 hours. Acute kidney injury usually at this stage are still
irreversible, so further decline in kidney function can be prevented. 22,23

Management of AKI is directed at underlying diseases such as


conservative therapy, while preventing life–threatening complications, and
if necessary renal transplantation can provide support for recovery of
kidney function. Conservative therapies are fluid restriction, low-salt diet
and protein. The goal of therapy is conservative to prevent excess fluid,
acid-base electrolyte abnormalities, uremia, and hypertension. In this
patient, AKI was treated conservatively. 24,25

Supportive therapy in APSGN includes bed rest, nutrition, as well


as symptomatic therapy for edema, hypertension, and renal impairment. In
acute kidney injury fluid restriction, nutrients with adequate protein and
salt. In this case, the patient is given furosemide due to excess fluid.
Nutrition is given with a diet containing calories according to RDA, protein
1 g/kg/day and restriction of salt 1 g/day.

Education plays an important role in APSGN management. Patients


and families need to be explained about the course of the disease and its
prognosis. Families need to know and understand that although perfect
cure is expected at 95%, there is still a small chance of a persistent and
even worsening disorder of about 1 - 5%. It should also be described later
monitoring plan, in the form of urinalysis every 2 weeks for the first 2
months, then every month for 6 months, continued every 3 - 6 months until
hematuria and proteinuria disappear. C3 levels that return to normal after
8-10 weeks describe a good prognosis.26

Based on the results of the study, in general APSGN cured


perfectly, although there is a risk of permanent interference. Kidney

function of this patient was normal, with urea at the time of the initial
diagnosis was 30 mg/dl, creatinine 0,56 mg/dl, glomerulus filtration rate
(GFR) 126,7 ml/minutes/1.73 m2. Patients respond well to the treatment,
this can be seen from the improved symptoms. At the end of monitoring
still found microscopic hematuria, so the need for further observation
every 4 – 6 weeks during the first 6 months.

Hadiwijaya, et al" Out of the 95 patients as sampled, there were 90


(94.7%) cured, and 5 (5.2%) patients died. Multivariate analyses indicated
that serum ureum levels <119 mg/dl is an independent prognostic factor
for APSGN outcomes in children (p=0.032, OR 1.021, and CI 95% 1.002-
1.041). There is a significant difference both in early ureum levels to
outcome with p=0.003 and in early creatinine levels to outcome with
p=0.02. As for conclusion that serum ureum is an independent prognostic
factor for APSGN, where serum ureum levels <119 mg/dl and creatinine
levels <1.3 mg/dl have a good prognosis. There is no significant
correlation between the outcome and sex (p=0.961), nutritional status
(p=1.000), and age (p:0.108). (Level of evidence 2B, recommendation B)

Dagan, et al, A total of 125 patients with Streptococcal infection


was established by elevated anti-streptoliysin O titers (ASTO) in
109(85%), while throat culture was positive in 39 (31.2%). Complement C3
levels were significantly lower in 84 patients with azotemia (31.9 + 28.6
mg/dl) compared with 36 patients with normal renal function (53.2 + 46
mg/dl, p=0.01). At last follow-up (mean 42 months) all examined patients
(100 of 125) had normal renal function, microscopic hematuria present in
29 (30%), 6 had hypertension, and 1 had proteinuria (Level of
evidence 2B, recommendation B).

Ayoob et al28 after review of Inpatient and outpatient records from


17 children with APSGN, most of them were males (64.7%) with mean age

of 8 years, all of the children examined had a current or preceding
pharyngitis but none had a documented skin infection. Acute kidney injury
was seen in 94% of all cases, and thrombocytopenia in 18% were treated,
APSGN manifestation was rarely seen as severe nephritis. All patients
had C3 <80mg/dL that normalized on follow-up. The mean value of GFR
was 44.5+22.9 mL/min/1.73m' that improved to 105+19,4 on follow-up.
(Level of evidence 2B, recommendation B)

Nur,et al29 from 86 children with APSGN that were admitted in


pediatric ward Wahidin Sudirohusodo hospital, Makassar, 82 (95,3%)
survived and 4 (4.7%) died. Fifty-three (61.6%) patients were male and 33
(38,4%) were female. Subjects ages ranged from 3.42 to 14,67 years, with
a mean age of 9.36 years. Multivariate analysis revealed serum creatinine
level >1,5 mg/dL to be an independent prognostic factor for mortality in
children with APSGN (AOR 15.43; 95%CI 1.31 to 1817, p=0,03). (Level of
evidence 2B, recommendation B).

The prognosis of this patient, ad vitam and ad functionam bonam


because the patient showed a good response of the treatment where there
was clinical improvement, although the urinalysis was not improved. Ad
sanationam dubia ad bonam. Most APSGN patients recover but there is
still a possibility of risk of chronic renal impairment and the risk of
recurrence of illness. The best indicator for the recovery of
glomerulonephritis disease is the return of C3 levels to normal levels. This
generally occurs within 6 to 8 weeks. This persistent reduction in C3 levels
is useful as a guide, as it may be a sign that acute glomerulonephritis is
actually a chronic process of interference such as rapid progressive
glomerulonephritis, which is less than 5%. Urinary sediment disorders will
remain visible for months or even years most patients even though edema
and hematuria are not visible. However, patient still experience
microscopic hematuria, which was expected to improve. Microscopic
hematuria can persist for 6 months to 1 year after the infection heals. 30,31
