In a student laboratory session a male student finds erythrocytes in his urine
this finding is confirmed by the hospital laboratory
he denies any history of renal problems of recent illness
vital signs are within normal limits
Antistreptolysin O titer is less than 1:100
microscopic examination of urine is unremarkable except for rare red cell casts
there is no proteinuria
the most likely diagnosis is
a.-diabetic glomerulosclerosis
b.-IgA nephropathy
c.-lupus nephropathy
d.-membranous glomeruolonephritis
e.-poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis

the pt presents with NEPHRITIC syndrome. now the most likely cause in a young person wud be postinfectious GN. his ASO titer is low. hence we choose the next most common cause, Ig A nephropathy also called Berger's disease
im not sure but i think c, d and a are more consistent with nephrotic syndrome
