[Functional and morphological characteristics of a hematuric form of chronic glomerulonephritis]
Insights
Chronic glomerulonephritis (CG) with hematuria shows distinct features, particularly in the membranoproliferative form. These characteristics are important for diagnosing CG effectively.
Area of Science:
- Nephrology
- Internal Medicine
- Clinical Pathology
Abstract:
Clinical evidence has been analyzed for 325 patients with chronic glomerulonephritis confirmed histologically. It was established that chronic glomerulonephritis (CG) associated with hematuria exhibits some specific characteristics: great ability for maximal osmotic concentration and partial ability for ammonium excretion in membranoproliferative CG without sclerotic lesions, maximal occurrence in membranoproliferative form of the disease; fibroplastic transformation of the glomeruli is a rare finding. CG with hematuria is worth mentioning in CG diagnosis.
