Abstract
- Type II membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) is characterized by thickening of the glomerular basement membrane owing to electron-dense deposits on electron microscopy. We experienced a case of type II MPGN in a child presenting with proteinuria, hematuria on school urinary screening tests. He had been treated with losartan and enalapril. This is the first case report of type II MPGN detected by school urinary screening tests in Korea. Thus we report a case of 10-years-old male with type II MPGN with a review of brief literature.
