Authors present a group of patients in the article who were monitored at a nephrology outpatient department of the University Hospital in Martin between years 1997 and 2001 for nephritic or nephrotic syndrome. Indications, contraindications and ways of histology examinations of kidneys in their department are discussed in the beginning of the work. Than prevalence of individual types of glomerulonephritides as well as way and length of therapy based on histology picture are discussed in the monitored group of patients. In the end results of therapeutic response are presented. Among other things, authors came to a conclusion that it is the least possible to manage the disease when histology results show sclerotisation of glomerules and in cases of frequent relapses in prolipherative forms of glomerulonephritides.
