[Recommendations for a clinical classification of chronic glomerulonephritis]
Abstract:
As a result of the long-term treatment of 360 patients with histologically ascertained glomerulonephritis including 41 dead patients who had suffered from uraemia a clinical classification of the chronic glomerulonephritis (Ratner, M.) is presented. In detail 5 types of clinical course are characterized: Nephritic types of course: maximally active nephritic type of course, active nephritic type of course, inactive nephritic type of course. Nephrotic types of course: nephrotic type of course without hypertension, nephrotic type of course with hypertension. The elaborated clinical classification allows conclusions to underlying renal histology, tendency of the progression of the disease and prognosis, including survival time.
