Minor degree of reversible renal insufficiency: a frequent complication of adult minimal-change nephrotic syndrome.

We report on a group of 27 patients with minimal-change nephrotic syndrome who presented complete recovery from the nephrotic syndrome and the other clinical signs during follow-up. At the start of the examination an elevated serum urea was found in 10 (37%) and of serum creatinine in 4 (15%) patients. Creatinine clearance was decreased in 10 (37%), systolic blood pressure was elevated in 8 (29%) and diastolic in 11 (41%). Interstitial oedema was found in 3, tubular parenchymal degeneration in 4, slight interstitial mononuclear infiltration in 6 and slight interstitial fibrosis in 1 patient. Complete recovery of renal function was seen in all patients.

Survival rate of patients with glomerulonephritis.

This is a fourteen-year follow-up study of patients with primary and secondary glomerulonephritis, diagnosed by percutaneous renal biopsy. The survival curves of 271 patients were determined, applying the method described by Cutler 1958. The term "kidney death" was used for the patients who had died or developed end stage renal failure. The five-year survival rates were: 32 for diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis (chronic), 22 for focal glomerulosclerosis, 30 for membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, 62 for membranous nephropathy, 90 for focal and mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis, and 94 for IgA nephropathy. Two diseases of the secondary glomerulonephritis group were analyzed: renal amyloidosis with a survival rate of 8 and lupus nephritis 51.

Different pathohistological presentations of acute renal involvement in Hantaan virus infection: report of two cases.

We present two patients with Hantaan virus infection, admitted to the Department of Nephrology, Skopje, at the same time, with the same clinical presentation (chills, fever, abdominal pain, hemorrhages, nausea, headache, proteinuria, hematuria, oliguria, acute renal failure) but with different pathohistological findings and different disease courses. In the first case diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis was found, with a complete recovery of renal function after a month, with a mild proteinuria and erythruria during the second and the third month. In the second case, glomeruli were normal in general, with slight mesangial proliferation found in two out of twenty, but interstitial edema, lymphocyte infiltrations and tubular changes were noted. Complete recovery was not noted after 3 months of follow-up. The patient is now without hemodialysis treatment, with polyuria, in the stable phase of chronic renal failure which is not improving.
