The article presents data of 77 mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (MezPGN) patients, aged 20 to 71 years. The effect of deposits of immunoglobulins in the kidney tissue to the index of blood pressure and laboratory parameters of disease activity in MezPGN patients regardless of age is shown. The data demonstrate that the presence of IgM deposits in kidney tissue is unfavorable prognostic sign of MezPGN flow.
