Question 386 · LEK · Nephrotic and nephritic syndromes
Indicate which of the following characteristics of submicroscopic glomerulonephritis (minimal lesion nephropathy) are true:
1) nephrotic syndrome dominates in clinical picture;
2) light microscopy shows normal histopathology of kidney tissue;
3) in most patients, hypertension is present;
4) the clinical course is progressive, with up to 40% of patients developing renal failure within five years;
5) the first-line treatment is administration of glycocorticosteroids.
The correct answer is:
2) light microscopy shows normal histopathology of kidney tissue;
3) in most patients, hypertension is present;
4) the clinical course is progressive, with up to 40% of patients developing renal failure within five years;
5) the first-line treatment is administration of glycocorticosteroids.

- A. 1,2,3,5.
- B. 1,2,5.
- C. 2,3,4.
- D. 1,2,3.
- E. all of the above.
Hint
Recall the typical picture: heavy proteinuria, normal light microscopy, foot process effacement on electron microscopy and a good steroid response.
