ROLE OF HYPERTENSION IN PROGNOSIS OF GLOMERULONEPHRITIS OUTCOME IN CHILDREN
артериальная гипертензия. ABSTRACT THE AIM: to assess the role of arterial hypertension in prognosis of course of glomerulonephritis in children. PATIENTS AND METHODS. 300 children from 3 to 18 years old with different forms of glomerulonephritis were observed. Observation included pedigree and catamnesis of the disease during 2-12 years. One hundred parameters were analysed, including anamnesis and clinical symptoms, renal function indexes, plasma phospholipid spectrum and immune indexes. RESULTS. Arterial hypertension is the most significant clinical symptom in glomerulonephritis. If blood pressure is increased more than 2 weeks from the disease onset, risk of lingering and chronic course is higher. In acute and chronic glomerulonephritis arterial hypertension is supported by different methods.
