METHOD FOR DIFFERENTIAL DIAGNOSTICS OF HYPERTONIC DISEASE AND ARTERIAL HYPERTENSION AT CHRONIC GLOMERULONEPHRITIS Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC A61B5/02 

FIELD: medicine, therapy, diagnostics.

SUBSTANCE: it is necessary to form standard groups of patients with hypertonic disease (HD) and arterial hypertension in case of chronic glomerulonephritis (GN), carry out daily monitoring of arterial pressure (DMAP), determine standard interval values and the median of DMAP values against each group, detect DMAP values that have got statistically valuable differences between HD and GN groups, establish conditional points for DMAP values in HD and GN groups, moreover, it is important to detect the degree of value between the differences in DMAP values in these groups. In case of no statistically valuable differences the value has 0 points, in case of statistically valuable differences the value has got per 5 points in each group, then the value with greater median should be added with points depending upon the degree of the value of these differences: at significance of differences being p<0.05 one should add 5 points, at p<0.01 one should add 10 points, at p<0.001 one should add 15 points. Then one should calculate maximal sum of points separately for each standard group. For predicting HD or GN it is necessary to compare a patient's DMAP values against standard values for HD and GN. Moreover, if a patient's value lies within standard interval ones being characteristic for HD and GN in this case patient's value should have corresponding conditional point. Then it is necessary to detect separately the sum of points the patient obtained according to HD standard and GN standard, estimate the percentage of obtained points according to these diseases and according to maximal percentage value one should diagnose HD or GN.

EFFECT: higher accuracy of differential diagnostics.
