 | | These findings suggest that IVIg therapy is effective for cases of ANCA-associated glomerulonephritis that are difficult to treat using conventional immunosuppressive therapy. | | | Anyone who already has a chronic (long-term) autoimmune condition, such as lupus is at risk of developing glomerulonephritis. | | | Twenty patients were treated with IVIg before the start or newly increase of conventional therapy and evaluated the independent effect of this therapy. |

| | The most significant thing that can be done in treating glomerulonephritis is to identify the antigen source and eliminate it if it is possible to do so. | | | A chronic stimulation of the immune system leads to circulating bits of antibody/antigen clumps. | | | This means broad testing may be needed to screen for the conditions listed above. |

| | Glomerulonephritis and Allergies/Good Dog! Nov/Dec 1999 |
| | Scientists think a potential association between allergies and glomerulonephritis could then be established by comparing the presence of both diseases in the canine population at large, and the prevalence of glomerulonephritis in dogs with food allergies as compared to the prevalence in dogs with no allergies. | | | Glomerulonephritis occurs commonly in dogs: 43% to 90% of randomly selected dogs in various studies were shown to be affected. | | | This study has the potential to determine one possible cause for glomerulonephritis, and give veterinarians a means to prevent this severe disease of dogs. |

| | A - Angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitor therapy is preferable to conventional therapy for treatment of hypertension in patients with glomerulonephritis as it confers greater renoprotection. | | | GPP - However, response to therapy in these patients is less favourable and over- immunosuppression should be avoided in non-responders. | | | A - Cytotoxic therapy is not recommended for the treatment of idiopathic mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis. |
