Sixteen children with extensive crescentic glomerulonephritis and rapid renal deterioration were selected from 476 patients with glomerulopathy for study. The patients (1-14 yr, M:F = 5:11) presented with edema, oligoanuria, hypertension, gross hematuria and uremic symptoms in 81, 62, 62, 56 and 50 per cent, respectively. The mean Scr was 804 (+/- 436) micromole/L and BUN 38 (+/- 13.4) mmole/L. Anemia was found in 100 per cent, hematuria in 100 per cent, heavy proteinuria 75 per cent, hypoalbuminemia 40 per cent, hypercholesterolemia 38 per cent and low C3 40 per cent. The underlying causes of RPGN included idiopathic 9, PSAGN 6 and LE 1. Eight patients recovered with normal or slightly elevated Scr while the diseases progressed to ESRD in 8 patients. Idiopathic RPGN and extensive (greater than 80%) crescentic glomerulonephritis correlated with a poor prognosis.
