Abstract:
The etiology and clinical and histologic features of primary mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis (PMCGN) are reviewed, as are its management and prognosis. The problem of PMCGN, which is a well-defined disease entity, is shown to be one of major concern for nephrology today. A number of issues concerning the etiology, natural history, morphology, and treatment of this disease remain unresolved or require closer study.
