Study Notes
- Acute postinfectious glomerulonephritis is characterized by hematuria, hypertension, edema, and abdominal pain.
- Assessment involves monitoring for hematuria, hypertension, edema, and abdominal pain.
- Diagnostic measures include complete blood count (CBC), comprehensive metabolic panel (CMP), urinalysis (UA), throat culture (Cx), and biopsy.
- Interventions consist of administering antihypertensives and antibiotics, monitoring vital signs and intake/output, and managing electrolytes and diuretics.
