ABSTRACT:   Glomerulonephritis (GN) refers to inflammation of glomeruli. Glomerulo-nephritis can be considered as primary when the major problem appears to start in the glomerulus, and secondary when involvement of glomeruli is part of a systemic disease [1]. The prognosis of various glomerulonephritis varies widely. Identification of the histology of GN enables an initial diagnosis to be made and a prognosis to be given. Based on the histopathology of idiopathic glomerular disease, a modified classification by WHO is as follows: Minimal change nephropathy, focal proliferative GN, focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis, mem-branous glomerulopathy, diffuse mesangial proliferative GN (Ig A and Ig M), diffuse endocapillary GN, mesangiocapillary GN (type I and II) (also known as membrano-proliferative GN), and crescentic GN [2].
