The morphological and clinical course of the different forms of glomerulonephritis.
From repeat biopsies of 291 patients with glomerulonephritis, the clinical and morphological course of the individual forms of glomerulonephritis were compared with one another. From these results we concluded that: 1. Every form of glomerulonephritis has in all probability its individual course and prognosis, which can only be very slightly influenced by therapy. 2. The prognosis is considerably worsened, when either hypertension develops or tubular lesions in the morphological sense of an acute renal failure.
