There are many evidences that nonimmunologic factors contribute to pathogenesis of primary glomerulonephritides. Proteolytic enzymes plays important role in glomerular protein turn-over and their altered activities may have influence on glomerular function. The purpose of this paper was to review the role of proteolytic enzymes in initiation and progression of idiopathic glomerular diseases.
