[Effectiveness of sanitorium treatment of patients with chronic glomerulonephritis depending on their permanent residence].

The authors analyze the immediate and long-term results of 48-day health resort treatment at the Southern Coast of the Crimea of three groups of patients with chronic glomerulonephritis (150 patients in each) depending on the place of their permanent residency: "north", "middle" and "south" climatic zones. Treatment efficacy was higher in the group of patient inhabiting the "middle zone" (latitude 57.5 degrees-42.5 degrees North). These findings make it possible to improve the organization of selection of this contingent of patients for climatotherapy as well as to study the processes of their adaptation to new climatic conditions.
