Differential Diagnosis
The two classic diagnoses of nephritic syndrome are:
- post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis
- crescentic glomerulonephritis (also called rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis)
Nephritic syndrome causes are usually grouped into 'focal proliferative' and 'diffuse proliferative' on the basis of histology (obtained by a renal biopsy).

Famous quotes containing the word differential:
“But how is one to make a scientist understand that there is something unalterably deranged about differential calculus, quantum theory, or the obscene and so inanely liturgical ordeals of the precession of the equinoxes.”
—Antonin Artaud (1896–1948)
