| Description | Acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis (APSGN) is the most common cause of acute glomerulonephritis in children. This disease mainly affects children aged 3-12 years, and in most cases the etiological agent is group A beta-hemolytic streptococci. APSGN typically manifests with symptoms of nephritic syndrome.
