The effectiveness of different treatment programs was studied in correlation with clinical characteristics of chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN) in 665 patients. It was established that the higher was CGN activity, the poorer were the treatment results. Nephrotic syndrome also had negative implications. The best response was brought by prolonged (1-2.5 years) course of corticosteroids and cytostatics.
