Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Book Chapter Description
Classification systems of disease states are created to help stratify disease to help guide clinical evaluation and treatment and provide insights into prognosis. Glomerulonephritis is a term used to broadly characterize kidney diseases that occur as a result of immunologic and inflammatory injury to the glomeruli. There are several types of glomerular diseases and these diseases can be classified based on their clinical presentation, etiology, histology, or pathogenesis. Since the incorporation of the kidney biopsy into routine practice, histopathological classification of glomerular diseases has emerged and is now most commonly used method to characterize the different glomerular lesions identified and classify the different glomerular diseases. In this chapter, we will review the current classification systems used in clinical practice to characterize and differentiate glomerular diseases.
