Presentation
The etiology of glomerulonephritis can be classified by their clinical presentation (nephrotic, nephritic, rapidly progressive GN, chronic GN) or by histopathology. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Purpura
Common causes in children and adolescents include: Hemolytic uremic syndrome (disorder that occurs when an infection in the digestive system produces toxic substances that destroy red blood cells and cause kidney injury) Henoch-Schönlein purpura (disease [medlineplus.gov]
Treatment
Often, the disorder cannot be prevented, although treatment of illness and infection may help to reduce the risk. Glomerulonephritis - acute; Acute glomerulonephritis; Nephritis syndrome - acute Appel GB, Radhakrishnan J. [medlineplus.gov]
Treatment includes non-specific measure aimed at controlling hypertension, edema, proteinuria and disease modifying immunosuppression. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment Treatment for nephrotic syndrome involves treating any underlying medical condition that may be causing your nephrotic syndrome. [mayoclinic.org]

The nephritic syndrome is associated with hematuria and proteinuria and abnormal kidney function and carries poorer prognosis and is typically associated with hypertension. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
