    Abstract:
    Clinical and morphological features were analysed of the morbid condition in 46 patients with glomerulonephritis presenting with minimal alterations (GNMA) and 12 those with focal-and-segmental glomerulosclerosis-hyalinosis (FSGH), of whom there were twenty nine males and twenty nine females ranging between 15 to 54 years. In all cases morphologic diagnosis was established on the basis of vital histologic investigation of renal tissue. Immediate results were assessed of glucocorticoid and cytostatic therapy instituted at different stages of the condition. High effectiveness was documented of glucocorticosteroids in GNMA patients along with the ability of cyclophosphamide to significantly decrease the frequency of exacerbations and make such patients free from steroid dependency. GSGH patients derived no benefit from glucocorticoids while cyclophosphamide was associated with complete GH patients azathioprine therapy had no positive effect on the course of the illness.
