The authors report two cases of postinfectious acute diffuse glomerulonephritis with uncommon followup. The kidney biopsies showed characteristic features of postinfectious acute glomerulonephritis with extensive fibrinoid necrosis and polymorphonuclear inflammatory infiltrate in the walls of arterioles and interlobular arteries. Celular crescents were also seen. The patients follow with severe acute renal failure; one patient improved the renal function and one progressed to chronic renal failure and died.
