Chronic kidney disease. Computer illustration showing the gross anatomy of kidneys with chronic glomerulonephritis. The kidneys are atrophied with a thin cortex and cysts that create a bumpy appearance. The chronic form of glomerulonephritis may develop in adults following a streptococcal throat infection. It is seen clinically as in low urine production (oliguria), high blood pressure and urea retention.
