Abstract
In general the diagnosis of inflammatory and neoplastic diseases of the kidney relies on functional and morphological parameters, especially by radiologic, rarely by histologic examinations. The biochemical processes and alterations, which are responsible for the etiopathology of these diseases, are hardly taken into consideration. Nowadays, however, it is necessary to clarify the etiology and prognosis of inflammatory and neoplastic diseases of the kidney by further parameters. The first important attempts in this direction are the immunohistological findings in glomerulonephritis; another way forward may be the histo-chemical investigations with lectins.
