Разработке рекомендаций предшествовал длительный процесс детального изучения доказательств и предварительного анализа. Рекомендации содержат разделы, посвященные различным гломерулярным заболеваниям: стероид-чувствительному нефротическому синдрому и стероид-резистентному нефротическому синдрому у детей; болезни минимальных изменений; идиопатическому фокальному сегментарному гломерулосклерозу; идиопатической мембранозной нефропатии; мембранопролиферативному гломерулонефриту; гломерулонефриту, ассоциированному с инфекционными заболеваниями; ИГА-нефропатии; нефриту при пурпуре Геноха-Шенляйна; волчаночному нефриту; пауци-иммунному фокальному и сегментарному некротизирующему гломерулонефриту; анти-ГБМ антительному гломерулонефриту. Подходы к лечению освещены в каждом разделе, рекомендации основаны на результатах систематического обзора проведенных исследований. Оценка качества доказательности и силы рекомендаций основана на выделении соответствующих степеней. Кроме того, обсуждаются ограничения доказательной силы и высказываются предложения по проведению дальнейших исследований.

Kidney International supplements Volume 2/ issue 2/ June 2012 http://www.kidney-international.org Abstract The 2011 Kidney Disease: Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) Clinical Practice Guideline for Glomerulonephritis (GN) aims to assist practitioners caring for adults and children with GN. Guideline development followed an explicit process of evidence review and appraisal. The guideline contains chapters on various glomerular diseases: steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome in children; steroid-resistant nephrotic syndrome in children; minimal-change disease; idiopathic focal segmental glomerulosclerosis; idiopathic membranous nephropathy; membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis; infection-related glomerulonephritis; IgA-nephropathy; Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis; lupus nephritis; pauci-immune focal and segmental necrotizing glomerulonephritis; and anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody glomerulonephritis. Treatment approaches are addressed in each chapter and guideline recommendations are based on systematic reviews of relevant trials. Appraisal of the quality of the evidence and the strength of recommendations followed the GRADE approach. Limitations of the evidence are discussed and specific suggestions are provided for future research.
