متن کاملMethylprednisolone pulse therapy in two clinical types of crescentic glomerulonephritis.
To clarify the effectiveness of methylprednisolone pulse therapy on crescentic glomerulonephritis (CresGN), data of 46 patients was retrospectively studied. According to the slope of reciprocals of serum creatinine (s-Cr) the patients were divided into acute and insidious types, and each type was further divided into pulse (P) and conventional (C) therapy groups.

متن کاملCrescentic transformation in primary membranous glomerulonephritis.
A 31 year old man first developed steroid-resistant idiopathic membranous glomerulonephritis in 1981. Stable normal renal function was maintained until August 1988 when he suffered a clinical relapse with heavy proteinuria and declining renal function. Immunosuppressive therapy with prednisolone and cyclophosphamide was instituted in an attempt to arrest this relapse. Despite this, he later dev...
متن کاملThe pathogenesis and treatment of IgA nephropathy.
IgA nephropathy (IgAN) is one of the most common causes of glomerulonephritis in the world. The proliferative and crescentic forms of IgA are found in up to 30% of cases and are associated with nephritic-range proteinuria, accelerated hypertension, and accelerated decline toward ESRD. Thus, it is important to investigate the mechanism of the onset of IgAN and to identify the most appropriate tr...
