title: [Characteristics of primary glomerulonephritis (on the basis of kidney biopsies of the Pathology Department, I. M. Sechenov Moscow Medical Academy, from 1980 to 1989)].
abstract: On the basis of 1263 observations a relative incidence and clinical manifestations of main morphological forms of primary glomerulonephritis (PGN) are studied. Alterations in the clinical and morphological structure of primary glomerulonephritis are noted with nephrotic forms becoming more frequent and mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis among patients with nephrotic and nephrotic-hypertension syndrome becoming somewhat less frequent. A bimodal pattern of distribution of patients with membranous nephropathy depending on the age at the beginning of the disease indicating possibly the change of etiological factors in the age groups was established. Minimal alterations, focal-segmentary glomerulosclerosis, membranous nephropathy manifested most frequently by nephrotic syndrome or subnephrotic proteinuria. Mesangioproliferative and mesangiomembranous glomerulonephritis manifested by nephrotic, proteinuric-hematuric syndrome and were the main cause of the PGN hematuric form. The highest incidence of pronounced tubulointerstitial changes in mesangiocapillary and diffuse fibroplastic glomerulonephritis is noted this explaining a considerable lowering of the kidney function in these two forms of PGN.
