A previously healthy 9-year-old, Caucasian girl presents to your office with severe abdominal pain. Her mother also mentions that she has been urinating significantly less lately. History from the mother reveals that the girl suffers from acne vulgaris, mild scoliosis, and had a bout of diarrhea 3 days ago after a family barbecue. Lab work is done and is notable for a platelet count of 97,000 with a normal PT and PTT. The young girl appears dehydrated, yet her serum electrolyte levels are normal. What is the most likely etiology of this girl's urinary symptoms?
