The role of capillary wall in the histogenesis of glomerular diseases.
The glomerular capillary is the most solicited renal component of the local and general systems of integration both under normal and pathological conditions. The alterative and reactive modifications of the glomerular capillary may be the expression of a systematic capillary disease of the initial involvement of ths structure of glomerular corpuscles. The sum of certain kind of lesions of the complex glomerular structure realizes diverse morphofunctional entities of proliferative, membranous, and sclerocicatricial glomerular diseases. The glomerular diseases, irrespective of their nature, induce changes in the balance of the intra-and internephronal relationships, realizing new vicious circles which amplify and maintain the tissular destructions.
