Abstract

The paper discusses the specific features of the current course of acute glomerulonephritis, the spectrum of its etiological factors, and clinical manifestations. The factors influencing the course and outcomes of acute glomerulonephritis, including the risk of its progression to chronic kidney disease, are specially depicted.
