    Author: Ratner MIa, Zubkin ML, Stenina II, Balakirev EM.
    Journal: Klin Med (Mosk); 1990 Sep; 68(9):90-2. PubMed ID: 2290344.
    Abstract:
    A prognostic value of some clinical and morphological signs was followed up in 43 patients with chronic glomerulonephritis concurrent with the nephrotic syndrome versus 85 with other clinical types of the disease. There was a statistically significant incidence of disease progression in combination with arterial hypertension, resistance of the nephrotic syndrome over 12 months and detection of sclerosing renal glomeruli and interstitium within 2 years after onset of the disease. The protracted course of the nephrotic syndrome is a precursor of occurrence of chronic renal failure. With less prolonged phases of the syndrome there is evidence for a long-term period of functional compensation. Occurrence of arterial hypertension early in the disease, as early renal parenchymal sclerosis, fails to predict the rates of chronic renal failure development. In the absence of these factors, the possibility of prompt disease progression may be rejected in all likelihood.
