    Author: Dudar IO.
    Journal: Lik Sprava; 1999 Jun; (4):128-32. PubMed ID: 10476663.
    Abstract:
    A total of 846 patients with glomerulonephritis were examined. Of these, 219 were diagnosed as having developed acute glomerulonephritis (AGN), 627 were patients with chronic glomerulonephritis (ChGN). AGN is marked by a debut predominantly in the pubertal period and early adulthood, the incidence of the uric syndrome gets decreased with aging while that of the nephritis syndrome is noted to be on the increase in AGN patients. The course of ChGN depends on the age of the patient having developed the illness: the older the age group that such a patient belongs in, the more unfavourable the disease course is expected to be: developed early in the course of the disease is the hypertonic stage and that of chronic renal insufficiency as well, with the average length of life getting shortened beginning with the onset of the illness.
