ANGIOGRAPHY IN GLOMERULAR DISEASE OF THE KIDNEY

Abstract
The angiographic findings in 66 patients with histologically proven glomerular disease were analyzed and correlated with the stage of the disease, renal function, blood pressure, and hematuria. With progression of the glomerular disease, when associated with arteriolosclerosis, and in older patients pathologic angiograms are more frequently present and the vascular and cortical changes are more marked. The vascular changes are more frequently present also in marked hematuria, while reduced cortex indicates reduced renal function. Intravenous urography was found to be of no help in the diagnosis of glomerulonephritis.
