title: [Initial plasmapheresis treatment results in glomerulonephritis].
abstract: The first results from the treatment of two cases with glomerulonephritis are reported--the first was an exacerbation of nephritis after intercurrent disease and second--with systemic lupus erythematosus, after plasmapheresis application as an active therapeutic method, in combination with corticosteroid cytostatic treatment. A reduction of the three immunoglobulins in plasma was found as a result from plasmapheresis and emergence of serum complement, together with clinical data for improvement of the patients. The prospects of plasmapheresis treatment of the active forms of glomerulonephritis are discussed.
