Abstract:
The common respiratory pathogens which can cause children kidney disease include bacteria,viru-ses,mycoplasma pneumonia,and so on,the major clinical manifestations of infectious renal injury are glomerular nephri-tis,nephrotic syndrome,interstitial nephritis and renal subclinical glomerulonephritis. Group A β - hemolytic streptococ-cus is the most common cause of acute glomerulonephritis in children(50% - 90% ). Mycoplasma pneumoniae infec-tions and respiratory tract virus - associated renal injury are the important part of kidney disease in children with acute non - streptococcal infection,and comparing with the streptococcal glomerulonephritis,the process and prognosis of my-coplasma and virus infection are relatively better,and the level of blood urine,hypertension and serum complement is lower,with shorter duration and rapid recovery,and the duration of edema and proteinuria in children with nephrotic syndrome is shorter as well. There may be similar genetics and immunology pathogenesis between virus - induced wheezing or asthma and kidney injury in children.
