• describe the differences between childhood postinfectious glomerulonephritis and adult infection-related glomerulonephritis (IRGN);
• distinguish IgA-dominant IRGN from primary IgA nephropathy;
• recognize the overlap between infectious endocarditis–associated glomerulonephritis and ANCA-mediated glomerulonephritis;
• recognize the overlap between shunt nephritis and autoimmune or cryoglobulinemic nephritis; and
• identify predictors of poor outcome in adults with IRGN.
