Our understanding of post-infectious glomerulonephritis has evolved considerably since the condition was thought to be merely a benign consequence of streptococcal infection, characterized by pure endocapillary proliferation. This Review highlights the current status of post-infectious glomerulonephritis worldwide, with a particular focus on acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis. The authors, from Chulalongkorn University in Thailand, cover the epidemiology, presentation, pathology, pathogenesis, treatment and outcomes of this condition.
