[Prospects of immunomorphological study of glomerulonephritis]

A structural immunomorphological analysis of the renal glomerulus and immunocompetent cells, detailed characterization of the interaction between the glomerular cells and those of immune system as well as between glomerular cells themselves are thought to be essential for elucidation of patho- and morphogenesis of glomerulonephritis (GN). Such conclusion has been reached basing on long-term experience with GN study gained by the authors and relevant literature data. In line with standard light optical, histochemical and immunohistochemical methods there should be introduced comprehensive immuno- and electron-microscopic studies of renal biopsies and glomerular cell culture.
