Shunt nephritis

The acute nephritic syndrome includes haematuria, proteinuria, oliguria, and volume overload (Cameron 1979). Elevated serum creatinine levels are another common finding. This presentation is typical for acute postinfectious glomerulonephritis (GN) and rapidly progressive GN. Other forms of GN, such as membranoproliferative GN, lupus nephritis, and shunt nephritis may also manifest as an acute nephritic syndrome.
