[Results of the examination of children from families with hereditary nephropathies].

As many as 121 children from 70 families with aggravated history of nephropathies were examined. There were 102 patients. Of these, 55 (p = 0.54) were recognized for the first time. Risk factors and situations to develop nephropathies in children were determined. The diagnosis in children and parents is ascertained to be primarily unidirectional, more often in pyelonephritis (p = 0.43). Recommendations are given for early diagnosis of nephropathies and prevention of chronic renal failure.
