Causes of Acute Glomerulonephritis (AGN)
In diffuse glomerulonephritis (GN), all of the glomeruli are aggressively attacked, leading to acute renal failure (ARF). Disorders that attack several organs and cause diffuse GN are referred to as secondary causes. Secondary causes of diffuse GN include the following:
Cryoglobulinemia
Goodpasteur’s syndrome (membranous antiglomerular basement membrane disease)
Lupus nephritis
Schönlein-Henoch purpura
Vasculitis (e.g., Wegener's granulomatosis, periarteritis nodosa)
Primary diseases that solely affect the kidneys and cause AGN, include the following:
Immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgA nephropathy, Berger’s disease)
Membranoproliferative nephritis (type of kidney inflammation)
Postinfectious GN (GN that results after an infection)
