Respiratory allergies are one of the most common afflication of childhood in fact many allergies are more prevalent in childhood often abating with age. As with adults ,respiration allergies in children are most likely to appear in the form of allergic rhinitis and asthma.
Asthma symptoms in children can be varied and subtle. It is vital that parents learn how to describe them. Look for coughing episodes,especially at night or during exercising (children will also often complain of a sore throat after exercise).

this term suggests inflammatory conditions of the glomerulus, but there  are several types of GN and inflammatory changes are not always present. in many cases immune complexes damage the glomerulli.these are formed when antigens combine either within the kidney or elsewhere  in the body ,and they circulate in the blood.when immune complexes lodges in the walls of the glomeruli they often cause an inflammatory response that impairs glomerular function.other immune mechanisms are also implicated in GN.

classification of GN is complex and based on a number of features :the cause,immunological characteristics and finding on microscopy.microscopic distinction is based on:

the extent of damage:

diffuse:affecting all glomeruli

focal:affecting some glomeruli

appearence:

proliferative: increased number of the cells in the glomeruli .

membranous:thickening of the glomerular basement membrane.
