Abstract
It has been shown that Brown-Norway rats develop an immune-type glomerulonephritis after treatment with various mercury-containing drugs. Anti-GBM antibodies were involved, at least in some animals. This glomerulonephritis induced a proteinuria. Strong evidence is given, suggesting that most mercury compounds, some of which, such as mercurial antiseptics, are widely used, could induce an immune-type glomerulonephritis. The question therefore arises, whether these drugs can be used any longer.Entities:
