Overview
The incidence of post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis is approximately 9.5 to 28.5 per 100,000 individuals worldwide. The case-fatality rate of post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis is approximately 2 percent in India and 0.08 percent in Turkey. It commonly affects children with age between 5 to 12 years. The incidence of post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis increases in older people age greater than 60 years. It commonly affects children with age between 5 to 12 years. Men are more commonly affected by post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis than women. The majority of post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis cases are reported in developing countries.
