Abstract

Previous studies suggested that membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) type II has a worse renal survival and an unacceptable risk of recurrence post transplantation. We hypothesised that other factors may determine this risk. We analysed all cases (n=70) of MPGN diagnosed by renal biopsy in Ireland from 1972 to 1995. We used Cox regression analysis to determine factors that were independently predictive of renal failure. MPGN II had more crescent formation and mesangial proliferation (P
