Acute glomerulonephritis is caused by the deposition of antigen-antibody complexes in the glomerulus, resulting from post-infectious or systemic conditions. This leads to infiltration of leukocytes and thickening of the glomerular filtration membrane, reducing the glomerular filtration rate and potentially causing scarring and loss of the glomerular filtration membrane over time. It most commonly affects those aged 2-15 years old and can be influenced by socioeconomic and healthcare factors.
