Abstract:
Multivariate analysis of overall clinicomorphological signs in 58 patients with membranoproliferative glomerulonphiritis (MPG) and investigation of functional survival outlined independent prognostic factors valuable for predicting progression of chronic renal failure. These were: exacerbation > 1 time in 3 years, secondary hypertension, concentration of serum creatinine > 0.13 mmol/l, marked tubulointerstitial changes, global glomerular sclerosis > 30%, 24-hour proteinuria > 8 g.
