Принципы ведения гломерулярных болезней: итоги согласительной конференции Kidney disease: improving global outcomes (KDIGO). Часть 1

По инициативе Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) в ноябре 2017 года была организована конференция по противоречивым вопросам в ведении гломерулярных болезней. Работа конференции была сфокусирована на рекомендациях KDIGO 2012 года и преследовала цель – определить новые моменты в понимании номенклатуры, патогенеза, диагностики и, в частности, лечения гломерулярной патологии. Участники пришли к консенсусу в том, что большинство основных рекомендаций, в особенности касающихся лечения, должны быть пересмотрены соответствующей рабочей группой. Данная часть отчета охватывает общие принципы ведения гломерулярных болезней, IgA-нефропатии и мембранозной нефропатии.
