A patient with untreated strep throat is more likely to have with kidneys - CORRECT ANSWER Nephritic syndrome is caused by an antibody/antigen reaction seen after group a-beta hemolytic strep. Antistreptolysin is produced in the antibody/antigen reaction. You can use the HAD STREP mnemonic to help you remember: H = hypertension A = +ASO (antistreptolysin O) D = decreased GFR (glomerular filtration rate) STREP = Streptococcus Briefly explain why edema occurs with nephritic syndrome. - CORRECT ANSWER Inflammation in the nephron causes increased permeability in the nephron. Describe the pathology of nephrotic syndrome. Submit and Compare, displayed below - CORRECT ANSWER Nephrotic syndrome is caused by damage to the filtering system in the kidney.

The blockage would cause urine to accumulate, dilating the ureter first, and then the renal pelvis. This leads to a buildup of waste products in the body and can lead to kidney injury.
