[英文释义] Chronic glomerulonephritis characterized histologically by proliferation of mesangial cells,increase in the mesangial matrix,and a thickening of the glomerular capillary walls. The wall thickening is sometimes said to be a result of the interposition of mesangial cytoplasm or matrix between the basement membrane and the endothelium of the capillary wall. It is often divided into types I and II,and sometimes III. Pathogenesis is not well understood,but some types are thought to involve the immune system,with the complement system,in particular,being implicated.
