[Clinical varieties of chronic glomerulonephritis and psychic characteristics of patients]
Aim:
To clarify correlations between clinical variants of chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN) and psychic status of CGN patients.
Material And Methods:
10 patients with latent nephritis, 17 patients with nephrotic nephritis, 8 patients with mixed nephritis and 7 patients with rapidly progressive nephritis have undergone clinical and psychic examination both in the disease exacerbation and remission.
Results:
No significant correlations were found between the severity of CGN and severity of mental disorders though it was noticed that with deterioration of CGN the rate of mental deviations grows. This necessitates psychological correction for improving the results of combined treatment of chronic renal diseases.
Conclusion:
Further studies of correlations between somatic and mental status of patients will clarify the effects of mental status on the progress of somatic pathology.
