Early treatment of acute nephrotic syndrome in patients with acute post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis]

In the period of five years 54 patients with acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis were treated. Acute nephritic syndrome was manifested in 45 (almost 4/5 of all) patients. Edema and hematuria were found in all patients, hypertension in 89%, and acute renal failure in 49% of patients with the acute nephritic syndrome. For successful treatment of acute nephritic syndrome of decisive importance have been application of measures intended primarily to correction of positive sodium and water balance by dietetic regimes, diuretics and antihypertensives and rest, while the application of the dialysis has not been necessary even in patients with acute renal failure.
