Abstract
Since the renal biopsy was first introduced by Iversen and Brun (1951), it has been possible not only to gain morphologic information at autopsy but also to observe the active morphologic course of glomerulonephritis. So far, however, only occasional observations on the morphologic course of the glomerulonephritides have been published. It seems, therefore, justifiable to report on our 264 cases with follow-up biopsies, although. Our case material is, of course, insufficient for the purpose of making absolute conclusions.
