First group consisted of 15 patients (mean age 30.0±13.6); whose proteinuria became negative and serum creatinine levels dropped below 2 mg/dl at the end of 3 years. Group II included 11 patients whose proteinuria continued and renal functions did not improve or deteriorated (Mean age 23.2±8.8). In three patients of group II end-stage renal disease developed in 6th, 12th and 24th months and the remaining patients of this group showed decreased renal function and/or continued proteinuria. During the first assessment in Groups I and II, the rate of nephrotic syndrome 60% (9/19) and 72% (8/11), hypertension 53% (8/15) and 63% (7/11) was noticed.
