 ==Overview==
-In [[nephrology]], '''post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis''' is a disorder of the [[glomerulus|glomeruli]] ([[glomerulonephritis]]), or small blood vessels in the kidneys, following an [[streptococci]] [[infection]]. This condition is essentially defined as an inflammation of the kidneys.
-A closely related term is "post-infectious glomerulonephritis", which accounts for infections by other agents. However, this term is used much less frequently.
