Classification of chronic glomerulonephritis based on prognostic considerations.
Based on the correlation of LM, EM and IF findings of kidney biopsy tissues with the clinical and laboratory findings as well as renal function, classification of primary GN is proposed with special reference to the smouldering and progressive forms of chronic GN. The two forms of chronic GN should be differentiated because their prognoses are different.
