ABSTRACT
Serum immunoglobulin concenatrations were measured in 156 patients with various types of glomerulonephritis such as acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis, minimal lesion nephrotic syndrome and Henoch-Sch?lein purpura nephritis. 1) Serum IgG level was above normal mean in acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis, and normal range in Henoch-Scholein purpura nephritis. Serum IgG concentrations were significantly reduced in minimal lesion nephrotic syndrome. 2) Serum IgA concentrations were normal limit in minimal lesion nephrotic syndrome. In one-forth of acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis and one-half of Henoch-Sch?lein purpura nephritis, serum IgA concentrations were elevated. 3) Serum IgM concentrations were normal in acute poststreptococcal glomerulonephritis, minimal lesion nephrotic syndrome and Henoch-Sch?lein purpura nephritis. We concluded that serum immunoglobulin concentrations were not useful as an aid in diagnosing glomerulonephritis.
