CRESCENTIC POSTINFECTIOUS GLOMERULONEPHRITIS IN AN ADULT PATIENT WITH JUVENILE NASOPHARYNGEAL ANGIOFIBROMA: A CASE REPORT

摘要

Introduction: Crescentic glomerulonephritis is usually associated with an acute nephritic syndrome with rapidly declining renal function. Although prognosis is generally poor in most crescentic glomerulonephritis, postinfectious cases usually have a higher possibility of recovery. Juvenile nasopharyngeal angiofibroma (JNA) is a rare, but benign, locally aggressive tumor affecting mostly young males. We present herein the case of a young male who with JNA and subsequently developed acute renal failure resolving after removal of the tumor.
