[The immunological indices in chronic glomerulonephritis with a varying clinical course]

Examination of children with chronic glomerulonephritis by means of using immunological indicators of the first level enabled a direct correlation (r = 60) to be established between the relative count of venous blood lymphocytes (the mean values of several studies) and the disease gravity. A regression equation is depicted, making it possible to identify a group at risk for a possible grave course of disease among patients with chronic glomerulonephritis. The relative count of T lymphocytes is the least dynamic and informative indicator for disease forecasting.
