| Abstract |
This MD thesis reports studies at a nephrology department in 108 patients with glomerulopathies classified according to the results of renal biopsy. Exposure to volatile chemicals (chiefly solvents) was significantly greater than in 54 controls (62% vs 28%). Present knowledge of glomerulopathy, especially immunological theories, is reviewed, and possible pathogenetic mechanisms discussed. The hypotheses remain to be confirmed experimentally. A chapter is devoted to prevention, including the need for subjects with glomerulopathy to avoid contact with the causative agent. |
