[Is there a familial aggregation of glomerulonephritis?].
In the literature sporadically familial incidences of glomerulonephritis are described. As a contribution to this theme the family anamneses of 210 patients with histologically ascertained glomerulonephritis were evaluated. Apart from the genetically caused Alport syndrome an accumulation also of other form of glomerulonephritis were established in about 5% of these 210 patients. It is referred to the necessity of taking into consideration this fact but also the aimed establishment of paraclinical findings, above all of immunological parameters in members of the family in order to better answer the question of familial incidences of Glomerulonephritis.
