21. Acute glomerulonephritis , inflammation of the renal glomerulus, can follow streptococcal pharyngitis or skin infection. 22. Active glomerulonephritis is not usually present. 23. Membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis and the presence of renal dysfunction largely determine the prognosis of acquired partial lipodystrophy. 24. Nephropathy, in the form of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis , occurs in about 20 % of patients. 25. Normally a kidney sample will be subjected to immunofluorescence if rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis is a concern. 26. Including malaria-induced renal lesions, infection may lead to both tubulointerstitial damage and glomerulonephritis . 27. Within membranous glomerulonephritis , especially in cases caused by viral hepatitis, serum C3 levels are low. 28. In 2009, British, Viennese and Dutch researchers performed acute nephritic syndrome caused by poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis . 29. With age these animals developed a glomerulonephritis phenotype associated with a 30 % reduction in life expectancy. 30. Immunostaining can also be used to help diagnose skin conditions, glomerulonephritis and to sub classify amyloid deposits.
