[Pathological classification and clinical characteristics of primary glomerulonephritis in China: bioptic study of 1001 cases].
The pathological classification and clinical characteristics of 1001 cases of primary glomerulonephritis seen in Jinling Hospital between 1980 and 1987 were analysed. It was found that the incidence of mesangial proliferative GN (including IgA nephropathy) ranks first. This was the commonest type in the cases of nephrotic syndrome, renal hypertension and chronic renal failure. On the other hand, minimal changes and membranous nephropathy, the usual types of GN causing nephrotic syndrome in Western literature are not so common in our series. It is suggested that Mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis, especially IgA nephropathy, should be stressed as the chief type of GN that needs further research.
