Abstract
A significant correlation exists between clinical types of chronic glo merulonephritis (CGN) in a new clinical classification and morphologic al CGN types according to classification of WHO experts. Rapid progres sion is significantly correlated with clinicomorphological variants of CGN represented by unfavorable clinical types and unfavorable morphol ogical types. No rapid progression occurred in combination of clinical ly favourable types and morphologically favourable and unfavorable typ es. The above classification is recommended for practice.
