Abstract:

Glomerulonephritis is one of the most common renal diseases in children. There are still some confusions and doubts on the definition, classification (etiology, course and pathology) and diagnosis of childhood glomerulonephritis, especially the etiology and pathological classification, which are often confused with nephrotic syndrome. In this paper, the classification of childhood glomerulonephritis is expounded, and it is especially suggested that the diagnostic procedure of children glomerulonephritis should follow the symptoms, course of disease, etiology, primary disease, pathology and renal function diagnosis, which can be used for reference and discussion by clinicians.

Key words: glomerulonephritis, diagnose approach, child
