Acute nephritis is commonly seen in children, predominantly affecting male children. Often before the onset, there's a history of upper respiratory tract infection or skin infection. One to three weeks after these infections, patients may develop hematuria, swelling of the eyelids and lower extremities, and increased urinary protein.

The severity of acute glomerulonephritis can vary; patients with milder forms of acute glomerulonephritis can be cured through appropriate treatment and standardized medication. However, if acute glomerulonephritis is not detected timely and treated properly, it can lead to severe complications, including uremia, heart failure, hypertensive encephalopathy, and other clinical manifestations.

Therefore, acute nephritis must be taken seriously to avoid severe complications. Of course, with proper treatment, most patients with acute nephritis can fully recover and have a good prognosis.
