- Serum Creatine > 3 till 14 (Stage 4-5) No. of pts.17

1) Improvement observed for Stage 1-2-3 that is 1st category: On the basis of Clinical evaluation & Pathological criteria, 100% pts. improvement, with stable patho & physiological criteria, for more than 18 months
2) Improvement observed - for Stage 4-5 that is 2nd category:
