  • Title: [Hyperuricemic variant of latent glomerulonephritis].
    Author: Mukhin NA, Serov VV, Maksimov NA, Balkarov IM, Varshavskiĭ BA.
    Journal: Ter Arkh; 1985; 57(6):43-6. PubMed ID: 4071411.
    Abstract:
    The authors describe the data of a comparative clinicomorphological analysis made in 40 patients with associated latent nephritis and hyperuricemia and 43 patients suffering from latent nephritis without hyperuricemia. No substantial differences in the disease clinical picture or in the structure of the morphological variants of glomerulonephritis (GN) were found in the above groups of patients. A more detailed morphological study made it possible to reveal a higher incidence of tubulostromal-vascular changes in patients with hyperuricemia. It is assumed that excess uric acid is likely to play an etiological role in the development of latent GN. Emphasis is laid on the necessity of early diagnosis of purine metabolism disorders in patients with latent nephritis whose goal-oriented therapy may improve the characteristics of the uric acid syndrome and renal function.
