Glomerulonephritis has always been regarded as a complex subject.
Different forms o f the disease c a n cause death in a matter o f
weeks, nephrotic syndrome which might or might not prove responsive
to steroid therapy, or no symptoms a t all. Improved pathological
te- niques and criteria have permitted a more accurate diagnosis
and prognosis to be established for many patients. With increased
und- standing of the immunological mechanisms involved it has
become apparent that many patients presenting with a variety of
symptoms and signs m a y have glomerulonephritis as their primary
pathological process. This book examines the clinical, pathological
and aetiological factors involved in the common forms o f
glomerulonephritis. Each chapter has been written by a recognized
expert in the field and provides information of relevance and
practical importance to the average clinician. The developments of
the last decade have emp- sized that glomerulonephritis is no
longer a matter only for the nephrologist but a subject o n which
all clinicians should be well informed.
