Differences, hematuria, and even gross hematuria had no effect on the prognosis. Age and gender did not affect the prognosis of the disease. [netinbag.com]

Histological findings may also be helpful in assessing the prognosis. There is a general agreement that crescents are a forerunner of a bad prognosis [ 6, 11, 14 ]. [academic.oup.com]

The classification is on the basis of pathophysiology and is guided by immunofluorescence findings. [news.mayocliniclabs.com]

The author argues that this new classification will better focus on the underlying pathophysiology and cause of the GN, thus directing the clinician to appropriate evaluation and management of proliferative GN. [ajkdblog.org]

[ edit ] It is unclear whether or not acute proliferative glomerulonephritis (i.e., poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis) can be prevented with early prophylactic antibiotic therapy, with some authorities arguing that antibiotics can prevent development [en.wikipedia.org]

Prevention There may be no way to prevent most forms of glomerulonephritis. However, here are some steps that might be beneficial: Seek prompt treatment of a strep infection with a sore throat or impetigo. [mayoclinic.org]

Can glomerulonephritis be prevented? Not until more is known about its causes. However, good hygiene, practicing “safe sex” and avoiding IV drugs are helpful in preventing viral infections such as HIV and hepatitis, which could lead to this illness. [kidney.org]

Prevention Membrane proliferative glomerulonephritis prevention The course of the disease type 3 is basically the same, prevention should start from their own health, usually avoid fatigue, reasonable diet, scientific exercise, enhance physical fitness [netinbag.com]
