[The clinico-morphological characteristics of glomerulonephritis in infectious endocarditis]
Abstract:
Clinicomorphological characteristics of glomerulonephritis in infectious endocarditis (IEGN) were studied in 62 patients (with samples of autopsy material being used in 52 instances). IEGN presents with dissaminated and focal proliferative alterations involving extracapillary and/or tubulointerstitial components, and is characterized by a broad variability of indices for proteinuria, hematuria and cylindruria. In diffuse prolipherative glomerulonephritis the degree of proteinuria and cylindruria appear to be significantly higher than in focal segmental proliferative glomerulonephritis, as is the incidence rate of development of renal insufficiency and its gravity.
