The diagnostic tests that will help confirm the diagnosis for acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis are the following : a urinalysis can be helpful, as microscopic hematuria is typically present in children with acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis. Sediment examination is alo a good test.
