[Prostaglandins and chronic proliferative glomerulonephritis].

In 14 patients with chronic proliferative glomerulonephritis, corrected arterial hypertension and normal or marginal glomerular filtration the authors assessed plasmatic and urinary metabolites of PGI2 and TXA2. They found that the production of both PGI2 and TXA2 was raised in the organism and they assume that in the stimulated synthesis hypertension and its treatment participated. The production of both prostaglandins in the kidneys was, however, normal.
