[Clinico-pathological correlations in IgA-nephropathy]

67 renal biopsies of children with IgA nephropathy, collected from 1970 to 1983 were analyzed semiquantitatively. Glomerular, tubular, vascular and interstitial lesions were scored and compared with clinical data in 56 patients. The number of cases registered and the severity and type of the glomerulopathy varied widely between centres. Histological parameters influencing significantly the outcome of the disease could not be detected.
