[Age features of treatment of idiopathic membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis].

The aim of the study was to investigate the effectiveness of long application of the combined therapy by cytostatics and steroid hormones for patients with morphologically proved membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis depending on age. 51 patients younger 60 years and 27 patients older 60 years were investigated. Patients received therapy by steroid hormones and cytostatics within one year. Shipping of therapy was satisfactory. Despite presence of signs of nephrosclerosis, efficiency of treatment was good. Signs of a nephrotic syndrome were proof remission in all patients of 1st and 2nd groups in 12 months after beginning of treatment.
