CLINICAL AND LABORATORY CHARACTERISTICS OF VARIOUS FORMS OF ACUTE GLOMERULONEPHRITIS IN CHILDREN
Abstract
<pre> In the structure of renal pathology in childhood, a special place is occupied by glomerulonephritis. The aim of this work was to study the clinical features and evaluate laboratory parameters in children with primary and secondary acute GN. Material and research methods. Only 70 sick children were under observation. Of these, 25 had capillary toxic nephritis (CN), 20 had primary glomerulonephritis (PGN) with a leading hematuric syndrome, and 25 had hemorrhagic vasculitis (HV b/pp) without subsequent kidney damage. Results. When comparing patients with capillary toxic nephritis and hemorrhagic vasculitis without kidney damage (groups 1 and 3), it was found that girls also predominate in group 3 (64%). Among them, there were fewer children of school age than in the 1st group. Although they were in the majority (68%), they did not greatly prevail as in cases of HB complications with kidney damage (84%). Findings. Early unfavorable prognostic symptoms of CI are the onset of the disease with extrarenal symptoms, a combination of gross hematuria with proteinuria, and functional impairment of the kidneys.</pre> <pre> </pre>
