  • Title: [The course of chronic glomerulonephritis in chronic opisthorchiasis].
    Author: Beloborodova EI, Zibnitskaia LI, Kaliuzhina EV.
    Journal: Ter Arkh; 2005; 77(11):44-9. PubMed ID: 16404862.
    Abstract:
    AIM: To characterize clinical, functional and morphological features of chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN) running with chronic opisthorchiasis (CO) and to justify dehelminthization. MATERIAL AND METHODS: Clinical, functional and morphological examinations of the kidneys, immunological characteristics were studied in 100 patients with primary CGN and CO (group 1), 30 patients with CGN free of CO (group 2) and 40 patients with long-term CO. RESULTS: CGN in CO runs with frequent rise of creatinine, glomerular filtration and canal reabsorption fall. Pathogenetic therapy with addition of pulse cyclophosphamide in a dose 10 mg/kg and conduction of dehelminthization a year later lead to long-term remission and inhibition of nephrosclerosis development. CONCLUSION: Clinicofunctional and morphological characteristics of the kidneys in mixed pathology necessitate addition of immunosuppressor cyclophosphamide in a dose 10 mg/kg and dehelminthization in combined treatment of patients with glomerulonephritis and opisthorchiasis.
