Core Tip	This study highlights the significant association between high-grade proteinuria and elevated serum creatinine in children with post-streptococcal acute glomerular nephritis. Children with high-grade proteinuria and elevated serum creatinine require follow-up to monitor long-term kidney function, given the association with the histological presence of crescents and a potential increased risk for chronic kidney disease. Although no association was found between high blood pressure and the degree of proteinuria during the acute phase, further evaluation of this cohort is needed to monitor for late-onset renal hypertension.
