Features of therapy of glomerular diseases in children

The aim is to summarize the information available in modern domestic and foreign literature on glomerulonephritis (GL) associated with viral infection in childhood. Virus-associated glomerulonephritis is considered to be nephritis, in which the etiological and/ or pathogenetic role of viral infection has been established. The association of glomerular lesions with viruses leads to a torpid course of GN, the development of resistance to hormonal and cytostatic therapy, and a worsening of the prognosis. The etiopathogenetic role of viruses is proved using immunoserological, immunohisto- and cytochemical, molecular biological research methods using various biological materials, including a renal biopsy.
