[Treatment of glomerulonephritis]

Issuing from the importance of the glomerulonephritis and the different spontaneous course of the certain morphological forms of glomerulonephritis recommendations are given for the indication of a therapy of glomerulonephritis. For the prednisone, indomethazin, azathioprin and cyclophosphamide treatment therapeutic schemata proved in practice are recommended. The results of the therapy of 32 cases of glomerulonephritis treated with prednisone and of 125 cases treated with indomethazin are described. Two observations of a five-year-course in a rapid progressive glomerulonephritis and in a Goodpasture syndrome refer to a probably favourable therapeutic effect of azathioprin. Finally it is referred to the advantages of an additional immunofluorescence-histological examination of the renal tissue in 50 cases of glomerulonephritis observed during the course.
