Abstract

Idiopathic crescentic glomerulonephritis is a very rare disease especially in children with poor prognosis. We experienced a case of idiopathic crescentic glomerulonephritis in a 4-year-old male patient who presented initially with a nephrotic syndrome and progressed to a rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis. We review literatures briefly.
