  • Title: The differential diagnosis of crescentic glomerulonephritis. The pathology of specific lesions with prognostic implications.
    Author: Spargo BH, Ordóñez NG, Ringus JC.
    Journal: Hum Pathol; 1977 Mar; 8(2):187-204. PubMed ID: 15939.
    Abstract:
    Combined findings from light and electron microscopy with immunofluorescence studies make a definitive diagnosis possible in most cases of crescentic glomerulonephritis. The patient's prognosis and pattern of response to therapy are matters of immediate concern in the light of recent developments in nephrology. The frequency of crescentic lesions varies depending on the specific types of disease, but the idiopathic lesion is seldom seen.
