[Criteria of chronic state and treatment effectiveness of acute glomerulonephritis without nephrotic syndrome in children].

A study was made of criteria for acute glomerulonephritis chronicity, efficacy of etiotrophic therapy, and of the survival rates in a group of 200 ill children. It has been established that proteinuria ranging within 0.1-0.99 g/l, no arterial hypertension at the disease debut, concomitant urodynamic disorders are of unfavourable prognostic significance for the clinical recovery. A relationship has been discovered between glomerulonephritis chronicity and the patients' sex and age, and preceding diseases. A conclusion is made about the highest efficacy of antibacterial therapy commenced at the first week of the disease, continued for one month. The patients' survival rate for 20 years amounted to 100%.
