For this reason, the objective of this work is to determine the clinical-epidemiological characteristics of pediatric patients with nephritic syndrome treated at the Loreto Regional Hospital, 2017-2021. For this reason, a descriptive and cross-sectional study was developed, with 48 pediatric patients as a sample. Concluding that the average age of presentation was 6.25 years, the majority correspond to the male sex (62.5%), 50% of the patients come from rural areas, 10.4% of the patients presented a history of pain in the throat before of hospitalization, 64.6% had a history of skin infections.
