A member asked:
What illnesses could cause serious kidney disease in a child?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Mostly infections: Bacterial infections that produce certain toxins such as a type of e coli recently found in germany but also present here can cause a serious disorder called hemolytic uremic syndrome with sudden kidney failure. Streptocaccol infections of a certain type can cause nephritis due to antibodies produced against them.
