deposit of immunoglobulins, complement, and cell-mediated immune factors This leads to injury and thus decreased GFR and decreased renal function
GN presentation - ANSWER - -Hx of recent infection with strep usually 1-2 weeks prior -Abrupt onset of hematuria, azotemia (Increased BUN and creatinine) and HTN 1 / 4
