A 13-year-old female presents with malaise, facial edema and decreased urinary output. Prior history is positive for strep throat, previously treated. Her work-up revealed severe abnormal lab values. Her final diagnosis is post streptococcal glomerulonephritis. What specific lab values would you suspect are abnormal? What is the significance of a positive strep infection? Compare and contrast acute vs chronic glomerulonephritis. Does glomerulonephritis resolve?
