INTRODUCTION: Although several registries collecting data of patients with kidney diseases exist, only a few specifically collect data relating to renal biopsy. Kidney biopsy has been performed routinely in Pisa since 1977; the aim of this study was to report the relative frequency of nephropathies according to gender, age at time of biopsy, clinical presentation and renal function, based on histological diagnoses during the years 1977 through 2005. During this time, 3,810 kidney biopsies were performed, of which 89.3% were from native (n=3,446) and 10.7% from transplant kidneys. Throughout this period, 5% of renal biopsies were not diagnostic, so in this paper we report data regarding 3,269 native kidney nephropathies. METHODS: During the years 1977 through 2005, data for renal biopsies were collected on specific registers filled out by clinicians. Information collected in the database included a variety of indicators, such as clinical anamnesis, creatinine clearance, daily proteinuria, hemoglobin levels, blood pressure, height and weight, clinical presentation, and current medications. Clinical presentation was defined as urinary abnormalities (UA), nephrotic syndrome (NS) and acute nephritic syndrome (ANS). Renal diseases were divided into 4 major categories: primary glomerulonephritis (GN), secondary GN, tubulointerstitial nephropathies (TIN) and vascular nephropathies (VN). RESULTS: From 1977 up to 1987, a mean of 95 +/- 18 renal biopsies/year were performed; this number significantly increased to 185 +/- 22 renal biopsies/year (range 138-200) (p<0.001) in the following period (1988-2005). Renal biopsy was more frequently performed in males (59%) compared with females (41%). Of all diseases of the native kidney, primary GN was the most frequent (66%), followed by secondary GN (25.6%), TIN (4.2%) and VN (4.2%). The type of primary GN with the highest frequency was mesangial GN (both IgA and non-IgA) (45.7%), followed by membranous GN (23%), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (19.8%), minimal change disease (5.3%), crescentic GN (4.2%) and postinfectious GN (2%). In terms of age, renal biopsy was more frequently performed in patients aged 20 to 60 years, and nearly 60% of patients presented a glomerular filtration rate (GFR) >60 ml/min at the time of biopsy. The main clinical reason for performing renal biopsy was UA, in all the types of nephropathies.CONCLUSIONS: We confirm data that renal diseases are more frequent in men, with the exception of secondary GN. The mean age at diagnosis was 42 years resulting from the tendency not to perform renal biopsies in children and in elderly patients. Renal biopsy was mainly performed in patients with GFR >60 ml/min and asymptomatic urinary abnormalities suggesting concern on the part of clinicians regarding glomerular diseases. The tendency to perform renal biopsies has been significantly increasing throughout our follow-up period. 相似文献

Objective To analyze the spectrum of children's kidney pathology by renal biopsy. Methods The clinical and pathological data of the cases in Jinling Hospital involving the patients younger than 18 years old who received renal biopsy from April 1st, 2004 to December 31th, 2017 were retrospectively collected, and compared with the renal pathological data of 1611 children aged 0-18 years from June 1982 to March 2004. Results This study included 9925 cases of kidney diseases proven by renal biopsy. The ratio of male to female was 1.79∶1. Primary glomerulonephritis (PGN) accounted for 66.14%, and secondary glomerulonephritis (SGN) accounted for 28.00%. Top five of the PGN were IgA nephropathy (IgAN, 19.11%), mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (MsPGN, 16.07%), minimal change disease (MCD, 14.20%), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS, 6.19%) and membranous nephropathy (MN, 4.70%) in whole children, IgAN (13.12%), MsPGN (11.20%), MCD(10.63%), FSGS (4.55%) and MN (2.54%) in males, and IgAN (5.99%), MsPGN (4.87%), MCD (3.57%), MN (2.16%) and FSGS (1.63%) in females. Top three of the SGN were Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis (HSPN, 17.74%), lupus nephritis (LN, 8.23%) and vasculitis nephropathy (1.82%). The male was in a dominant position in all kinds of pathologic types than female except LN. HSPN was the most frequent type in adolescents between 6-13 years old. LN was the commonest one in 14-18-year-old girls, while IgAN was the the most common in 14-18-year-old boys. Post infective nephritis was the most popular in 12-14-year-old teenagers. It was also found that MN ascended in female. When compared with the data before 2004, HSPN and LN accounted for a greater proportion in SGN, post infective nephritis displayed a smaller proportion. Conclusions PGN is the mainly kind of glomerular disease as before, and immune disorder related to glomerular diseases increase and post infective nephritis decreases in proportion. This study provides the reference and epidemic data for diagnosis, treatment and prevention of children's renal diseases. 相似文献

Primary glomerular disease was the leading cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD) in China; however, changes in the economy and environment introduce variations in the spectrum of kidney diseases. This study aimed to analyze renal biopsy data to inform disease prevention and public health interventions. In this retrospective cohort study, data from 2,803 consecutive renal biopsies conducted at our center between January 2010 and December 2018 were analyzed. The sample was disaggregated by age and the date of biopsy to facilitate analysis. Primary glomerulonephritis (PGN) is the most frequent (81.84%) finding, followed by secondary glomerulonephritis (SGN; 15.38%), tubulointerstitial nephritis (15.38%), and others (1.57%). IgA nephropathy (IgAN), idiopathic membranous nephropathy (iMN), and minimal change disease were the primary causes of PGN. Among PGN cases, the incidence of iMN arose, especially among those aged ≥ 60 years old, during the observation period. Contrary to the case of iMN, the proportion of IgAN in PGN trended downward, continuously, and at length. Moreover, IgAN mainly affected those aged 25–44 years old and less so those aged ≥ 60 years old. Lupus nephritis, Henoch–Schönlein purpura nephritis, and diabetic nephropathy (DN) were key causes of SGN. A ratio reversal between infectious disease and chronic disease dramatically changed SGN patterns. In the past year, the incidence of hepatitis B–related nephritis has constantly declined; however, the proportion of DN among SGN had steadily increased. The incidence of iMN significantly increased during these years. Among SGN cases, the proportion of DN has increased. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Epidemiological data of renal disease are available from large national renal biopsy registries from Central and Western European countries; in contrast, detailed epidemiological data from Eastern European countries are missing. This report is the first review of histological data, over a period of 10 years (1995-2004), covering a population of over 6 million inhabitants and two distinct regions from an East European country - Romania. METHODS: 635 eco-guided kidney biopsies from the Moldova (North-Eastern Romania, 8 counties, 4 754 048 inhabitants) and Banat (Western Romania, 3 counties, 1 454 747 inhabitants) regions were analysed. Data on serum creatinine concentration (sCr), 24 h proteinuria, haematuria, clinical diagnosis, histological diagnosis and complications after renal biopsy were collected. RESULTS: The number of biopsies performed varied between 10.9 p.m.p./year in 1995 and 11.3 p.m.p./year in 2004. The most common clinical syndromes - as indication for performing the renal biopsy - were: nephrotic syndrome (52.3%), followed by nephritic syndrome (21.9%), acute renal failure (ARF) (12.4%), chronic kidney disease (CKD) (10.2%) and asymptomatic urinary abnormalities (AUA) (3.3% of the cases). The major histological groups identified were: primary glomerulonephritis (GN) (66.2%), secondary GN (26.4%), vascular nephropathies (2.3%), and tubulointerstitial nephropathies (TIN) (1.5%) of the cases. Among primary GN's, the most frequent diagnoses were: membranoproliferative GN (MPGN) (29.4%, incidence in 2004 - 9.3 p.m.p./year), mesangioproliferative GN (MesGN) (28.9%, incidence - 10 p.m.p./year), membranous GN (MGN) (11.2%, incidence - 5.3 p.m.p./year), minimal change disease (MCD) (8.5%, incidence - 7.3 p.m.p./year), focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) (11.5%, incidence - 3.3 p.m.p./year) and crescentic GN (CGN) (7.9%, incidence - 3.3 p.m.p./year). The prevalence of membranoproliferative GN significantly decreased from 1995 to 2004. The prevalence of different types of secondary GN was similar to Western and Central European countries, with the particular difference of higher infectious diseases associated GN. CONCLUSION: The present data are an important contribution to the epidemiology of renal diseases in Europe, highlighting not only numerous similarities but also significant epidemiological differences in Western and Central European countries, particularly a higher, albeit declining, incidence and prevalence of membranoproliferative GN. This report represents the basis for the future of Romanian Registry of Renal Biopsies and is intended to serve as a source of information for nephrologists concerned with East European renal pathology. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Although several registries collecting data of patients with kidney diseases exist, there are only a few registries which specifically collect data relating to renal biopsy; one such registry is the Italian Registry of Renal Biopsies (IRRB). The aim of this study was to report on the relative frequency of nephropathies according to gender, age at time of biopsy, clinical presentation and renal function, based on the histologic diagnosis during the years 1996 to 2000. METHODS: We evaluated data relating to 14607 renal biopsies, provided by 128 renal units in Italy. Data entry was performed by using the Internet-based database directly (URL http://www.irrb.net). Clinical presentation was defined as urinary abnormalities (UA), nephrotic syndrome (NS), acute nephritic syndrome (ANS). Renal diseases were divided in four major categories: (1) primary glomerulonephritides (GN); (2) secondary GN; (3) tubulointerstitial nephropathies (TIN); and (4) vascular nephropathies (VN). RESULTS: Primary GN, TIN, and VN were more frequent in males compared to females while secondary GN was more frequent in females. Diseases whose frequency was higher in males were IgA nephropathy (IgAN), benign nephroangiosclerosis (BNA), and acute tubular necrosis (ATN). A significantly higher frequency of immune-mediated secondary GN, as well as primary GN, including minimal change disease (MCD), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), and mesangiocapillary GN (MCGN), was shown in females. Primary and secondary GN, TIN, and VN were more frequent in the range 15 to 65 years of age. At the time of biopsy 77% of primary GN and 61% of secondary GN presented with normal renal function. Acute renal failure (ACR) was more present in TIN (52%), while chronic renal failure (CRF) was more frequent in VN (47%). CONCLUSION: We believe collection of data relating to renal biopsies in a national registry is a useful tool for nephrologists in that it meets one of the current challenges facing the clinical research enterprise. The availability of these data will allow epidemiologic studies in health care to answer the several open questions in both prevention and treatment of renal diseases. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: This report describes data collected by the Czech Registry of Renal Biopsies (CRRB). METHODS: Twenty-eight centres provided data on all biopsies of native kidneys performed in the Czech Republic (population 10.3 million) over the period 1994-2000. Data on serum creatinine concentration (sCr), 24 h proteinuria, haematuria, serum albumin level, arterial hypertension, diabetes mellitus, histological diagnosis and complications after renal biopsy were collected. RESULTS: Altogether 4004 biopsies in 3874 patients were performed (males 57.9%, children < or = 15 years 17.7%, elderly >60 years 14.3%). Microhaematuria was present in 65.9%, macrohaematuria in 9.2%, nephrotic proteinuria (> or = 3.5 g/24 h) in 39.3%, and low-grade proteinuria (<3.5 g/24 h) in 41.4%. Among adults, hypertension was present in 45.2%, mild renal insufficiency in 23% (sCr 111-200 micromol/l) and advanced renal insufficiency in 13.7% (sCr 201-400), while 11.5% of patients had sCr >400 micromol/l. The most frequent renal diseases were primary (59.8%) and secondary (25.4%) glomerulonephritis (GN). Tubulointerstitial nephritis (TIN) was observed in 4.4% and hypertensive nephroangiosclerosis in 3.4%. The samples were non-diagnostic in 4.6%. Among primary GNs, the most frequent diagnoses were: IgA nephropathy (IgAN) 34.5%, minimal change disease (MCD) 12.4%, non-IgA mesangioproliferative GN (MesGN) 11.3%, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) 10.8% and membranous GN (MGN) 9.3%. Among secondary GNs, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) represented 23.0%, necrotizing vasculitis (NV) 15.5%, Henoch-Schonlein purpura 5.7%, thin basement membrane glomerulopathy (TBN) 19.3%, Alport syndrome 6.9%, renal amyloidosis 9.9% and myeloma kidney 2.9%. Among children, the most common were IgAN (19.2%), MCD (17.6%) and TBM glomerulopathy (12.3%), while among the elderly the most common were MGN (11.0%), NV (10.7%) and amyloidosis (9.6%). The most common in patients with nephrotic proteinuria were MCD (50.5%) among children, but IgAN (24.6%) in adults aged 16-60 years and MGN (16.8%) among the elderly. IgAN (21.3%) and FSGS (8.3%) were the most common diagnoses among patients with mild renal insufficiency, but TIN (11.6%) and NV (11.3%) were the most common in more advanced renal insufficiency. Since 1999, diabetic patients represented 12.2% of adults, with mean proteinuria 8.9 g/24 h; diabetic glomerulosclerosis was found in 42.4% (with microhaematuria present in 66%) and non-diabetic renal diseases in 47.5% (IgAN in 17.5%, MGN and NAS in 11.1% and NV in 9.5%). The mean annual incidence (per million population) was: primary GN 32.4, secondary GN 13.8, IgAN 11.2, MCD 4.0, MesGN 3.7, FSGS 3.5, SLE 3.2, MGN 3.0, TBM 2.7, TIN 2.4 and NV 2.1. Ultrasound needle guidance was used in 56%, preferably in children (79%). The frequency of serious complications (gross haematuria, symptomatic haematoma, blood transfusion) remained at 3%. CONCLUSION: The CRRB provides important data on the epidemiology of GN based on a whole country population. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: In Lithuania renal biopsies (RB) have become routine since 1995. Our study attempted to analyze RB for 5 years in Lithuania. METHODS: We analyzed data of adult patients who underwent native kidney biopsies in 6 renal units in the period between 1995 - 1999. It accounted for 62.5% of all kidney biopsies, done throughout Lithuania. All biopsy specimens were examined by the same pathologist using light- and immunofluorescence microscopy. RESULTS: A total of 316 renal biopsies was analyzed; males : females 1.8 : 1. The mean age was 41.4 +/- 16.7 years. The most common indications for biopsy was nephrotic syndrome (29.1%) and urinary abnormalities (27.8%). After exclusion of inadequate biopsies in the remaining 280 RB, primary glomerulonephritis (GN) accounted for 68.7% and secondary GN for 19.5%. The most frequent forms of primary GN were membranoproliferative GN and immunoglobulin A nephropathy (17.9% and 15.4%, respectively), followed by membranous nephropathy (7.1%) and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (6.8%). CONCLUSIONS: The main indication for renal biopsy in Lithuania was nephrotic syndrome, which was followed by isolated urinary abnormalities. The leading type of kidney damage was primary glomerulonephritis, which was 2.4 times more frequent in males than in females. The most frequent form of primary glomerulonephritis was membranoproliferative GN, with dominance in males. Immunoglobulin A nephropathy was the second form of primary GN according to the frequency. 相似文献

AIMS: Our goal was to define the spectrum of glomerular diseases in allograft kidneys and to correlate them with clinical parameters. METHODS: Eight hundred ninety-one renal graft biopsies and 43 graft nephrectomies from 1980 to 2004 were obtained from 442 allografts transplanted to 425 patients. RESULTS: Glomerular diseases were diagnosed in 33% of kidney grafts. Indications for biopsy were baseline assessment (23 biopsies, 2.5%); renal dysfunction (790 biopsies, 88.7%); proteinuria (154 biopsies, 17.3%); hematuria (11 biopsies, 1.2%); and study protocol (four biopsies, 0.4%). The median time to take a biopsy was less than 8 months posttransplant. The mean time posttransplant when the biopsy diagnosis was made was 70 months for IgA nephropathy (IgAN); 66 months for transplant glomerulopathy (TG); 65 months for focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSG); 55 months for mesangiocapillary glomerulonephritis (MCGN); 45 months for membranous glomerulonephritis (GN); 49 months for mesangial proliferative GN; and 101 months for diabetic nephropathy. Recurrent glomerular disease was documented in 31 (7.0%) grafts. Specific glomerular diseases were diagnosed by biopsies in 106 (89.1%) of 119 proteinuric allografts. CONCLUSIONS: Glomerulopathy was common in allografted kidneys. IgAN, TG, FSG, mesangial proliferative GN, and membranous GN were the majority. A higher proportion of grafts from donors related to the recipients than from unrelated donors showed IgAN (P < .05), suggesting that genetic factors might play a role in the pathogenesis of IgAN. Recurrence of glomerulopathy underlying ESRD was frequent for IgAN, FSG, and MCGN, but this was rarely seen in membranous GN. 相似文献

Background: Several registries and centers have reported the results of renal biopsies from different parts of the world. As there are few data regarding the epidemiology of glomerulonephritis (GN) in South Korea, we conducted this study on renal biopsy findings during the last 20 years from a single center. Methods: Data for 818 patients who underwent renal biopsy at our center between 1992 and 2011 were collected retrospectively. All kidney specimens were examined with light microscopy (LM) and immunofluorescent microscopy (IF). Results: There were 818 cases of native kidney biopsies. In cases of primary GN, the most frequent type of renal pathology in adults (18–59 years) was mesangial proliferative GN (MsPGN, 34.5%) followed by IgA nephropathy (IgAN, 33.3%) and membranous GN (MGN, 8.8%). Indications in adults (18–59 years) were asymptomatic urinary abnormalities (75.3%) followed by nephrotic syndrome (19.8%) and acute kidney injury (AKI, 3.4%). Conclusions: Among 818 renal biopsy specimens, MsPGN and IgAN were the most frequent biopsy-proven renal diseases. MGN was the third most common cause of primary GN and lupus nephritis (LN) was the most common secondary glomerular disease. Our data contribute to the epidemiology of renal disease in South Korea. 相似文献

To determine the patterns of the prevalent glomerulonephritis (GN) in our region, we studied the results of 511 consecutive renal biopsies performed on patients with proteinuria, hematuria and mild to moderate renal impairment at the Aga Khan University Hospital during a period of 18 years from January 1990 to December 2008. Primary glomerular disease accounted for two-thirds of the glomerular diseases, which in turn constituted 49% of all renal biopsies. The most common histological lesion was membranoproliferative disease (28%). Membranous GN was the second most common lesion (19%), followed by minimal change disease (16%) and focal segmental GN (11%). Secondary glomerular disease comprised 30% of glomerular diseases (21% of all the renal biopsies), with lupus nephritis forming the most common lesion (34%) followed by amyloidosis (22%), diabetic nephropathy (10%), Wagener's granulomatosus and post-infectious GN (9% each). Tubulointerstitial diseases accounted for 16% of all the renal biopsies. We conclude that there exists a wide variability in the different categories of primary and secondary glomerular diseases in our region as compared with different parts of the world. Future studies should be directed to analyze the causes for these variations. 相似文献

Renal biopsy is the gold standard method for determining the diagnosis, treatment, and prognosis in children with renal disease. This study aims to evaluate the histopathological features of pediatric renal biopsies obtained from the national nephrology registry in the last two decades. Data recorded in the Turkish Society of Nephrology Registry System (TSNRS) in 1991 as well as in between 2001 and 2010 were analyzed. A total of 3892 biopsies were recorded; with the least number in 1991 (total 103 biopsies from 17 centers) and the highest number in 2008 (total 654 biopsies from 23 centers). Glomerular diseases constituted the main group in the registry (62.64%), followed by systemic diseases (20.06%). Focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) and Henoch–Schönlein purpura (HSP) nephritis (IgA vasculitis) were the most common glomerular and systemic diseases, respectively. Overall prevalence of renal amyloidosis and membranous nephropathy (MN) was quite low (1.87% and 1.56%, respectively) in all periods. Compared to 1991, there was an increasing trend in the frequencies of certain disorders including hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), IgA nephropathy, and HSP nephritis; and there was a decrease in acute proliferative glomerulonephritis (GN) in 2008. As well as demonstrating the etiologies of renal diseases which can only be identified by renal biopsies, this study provides important information regarding the changing patterns of histopathological findings due to better management of pediatric renal diseases over the years in Turkey. 相似文献

The proteinuria in renal allograft recipients has been regarded as a sign of poor prognosis. The causes of post-transplant proteinuria include chronic rejection, chronic transplant glomerulopathy, glomerulonephritis (GN), acute rejection, and cyclosporine nephrotoxicity. Among them, chronic rejection is known to be most frequent. We analyzed the histopathologic findings of renal allograft biopsies in 197 Korean recipients with proteinuria. Among them, 26 patients developed proteinuria over 500 mg/d. All patients received baseline immunosuppression with cyclosporine. From 26 patients with post-transplant proteinuria, 29 biopsies were performed and their histologic diagnoses were immunoglobulin A nephropathy (IgAN) in 17, IgAN combined with chronic allograft nephropathy in 1, focal segmental glomerulosclerosis in 2, crescentic GN in 1, membranous GN in 1, diabetic nephropathy in 1, acute tubulointerstitial nephritis in 1, and chronic rejection in 3 biopsies. The remaining two biopsies showed nonspecific findings. The most common cause of post-transplant proteinuria was IgAN (62% of biopsies). The incidence of chronic rejection was relatively low and predominant cyclosporine-associated changes were not observed. In conclusion, our data suggest that the main causes of post-transplant proteinuria in Korea are primary glomerulonephritides rather than chronic rejection or cyclosporine nephrotoxicity, and the kidney allograft biopsies from patients with proteinuria should be handled as native kidney. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: The existence of a national renal biopsy register and a national terminal uraemia status register in Denmark provides an opportunity to study the prognosis of glomerulonephritis (GN), and factors influencing prognosis. METHODS: Multivariate analysis of 2380 renal biopsies with GN performed between 1985 and 1997 was done to determine the influence of clinical and histological factors on prognosis. RESULTS: The incidence of GN (39/mo/year) and individual diagnoses did not change during the period. After 10 years, 32%, were dead, 13% terminally uraemic, 5%, uraemic and 50% well. Older age increased mortality, but not the incidence of renal failure after the first year. Male sex increased both mortality and incidence of renal failure (34 vs 24% at 10 years, P < 0.001). The diagnoses could be divided into three prognostic groups compared with the general population: a good prognostic group (minimal change GN and membranous GN ), with a relative mortality of three and a combined renal and patient mortality of four; a poor prognostic group [crescentic GN, HUS/TTP, chronic GN] with relative mortalities of 8-19 and 13-33, respectively; and the remainder with mortalities of 4-7 and 6-12. The presence of multiple glomerular pathology, chronic GN, nephrosclerosis and chronic interstitial nephropathy worsened the prognosis, while the presence of immune deposits only worsened the prognosis of focal segmental glomerulopathy. Mortality was related to uraemia and co-morbidity at biopsy, and to the incidence of renal failure. Renal failure was correlated to uraemia and hypertension at biopsy but not to nephrotic syndrome or atherosclerosis. All vascular complications were increased and were positively related to hypertension and negatively correlated to the incidence of uraemia. Crescentric glomerulonephritis combined with anti-GBM disease had a worse prognosis than Wegener's granulomatosis, with microscopic polyangiitis and pauci-immune disease occupying an intermediate position. The prognosis of mesangioproliferative GN was unaffected by the presence of IgA nephropathy and systemic lupus erythematosus. 相似文献

PurposeLarge-scale, contemporary studies assessing the spectrum of kidney diseases in northwest China are lacking. Therefore, we aimed to assess the profile of 30-year temporal changes in biopsy-proven kidney diseases in northwest China. MethodsThis cross-sectional study included all patients with a native kidney biopsy specimen in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi'an Jiaotong University between 1989 and 2018. Data on demographic characteristics and pathological diagnosis were extracted from medical records and pathological reports. Changing patterns of kidney diseases over the study period and disease distributions in different gender and age groups were examined. ResultsThis study included 13,620 patients with a mean age of 38.5?±?16.5 years and included 58.2% of men. Primary glomerulonephritis (PGN), second glomerulonephritis (SGN), tubulointerstitial disease, and other renal diseases accounted for 79.1, 18.3, 2.4, and 0.2% of all kidney diseases, respectively. In PGN, IgA nephropathy (IgAN) (25.1%) was the most common type, followed by non-IgA mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis (MsPGN) (24.9%) and membranous nephropathy (MN) (17.4%). The frequency of MN dramatically increased (p?<?0.001) over the course of the study. Lupus nephritis (6.2%) and Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN) (4.9%) were leading SGN diagnosis. The frequencies of IgAN, non-IgA MsPGN, and HSPN declined, while those of ANCA/pauci-immune glomerulonephritis and diabetic nephropathy significantly increased. ConclusionPGN continues to be the predominant kidney disease in northwest China, and IgAN is the most common type. The frequencies of MN and diabetic nephropathy significantly increased. These findings might be explained by behavioral and environmental exposures and provide implications on future hypothesis-driven research. 相似文献

BACKGROUND: Percutaneous renal biopsy under real time ultrasound guidance is a routine procedure in pediatric nephrology and allows a histological diagnosis to be made in children with evidence of renal disease. METHODS: Retrospective case note review. RESULTS: Over four years 191 renal biopsies were attempted in 116 patients; 186 biopsies were performed successfully: 102 native and 84 renal allografts. 151 renal biopsies were performed under sedation and 34 biopsies were performed under general anesthetic, one biopsy without sedation. Problems during sedation were recorded in 5/151 (3.3%) cases. All patients remained in hospital overnight for observation following the biopsy. Complications were reported in 23/185 (12%) of biopsies. Macroscopic hematuria was recorded in 13/185 (7%), presenting within 6-hours of biopsy, on first void, in 11 patients. Two patients developed macroscopic hematuria four and six days after the procedure. One patient with macroscopic hematuria required a single blood transfusion. Three patients developed urinary retention requiring catheterization for up to 48 hours post-procedure, two of whom also had macroscopic hematuria. Pain post procedure was reported in 7.6% episodes and was reported significantly more often with elective native biopsies. CONCLUSIONS: Renal biopsy can safely be performed as a day care procedure, if patients are observed for six hours instead of 24-hours post biopsy. 相似文献

The frequency of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) has been studied in the sera and renal biopsies of 276 patients with various forms of glomerulonephritis (GN), the nephrotic syndrome and other nephropathies. Using a modified Hepanosticon method, HBs antigenemia was detected in 32 of 196 patients (16.3%) with immune complex (IC) GN and the nephrotic syndrome. Indirect immunofluorescence revealed HBsAg in 33 renal biopsy tissue specimens (16.8%). HBsAg was found in the sera of four of the 80 remaining patients with other renal diseases (5%), and in the renal biopsy tissues of another four (5%). Antibody against HBsAg could only be demonstrated in the serum of one glomerulonephritic patient. The sera of 18,799 normal blood donors were used as controls; of these 186 (0.99%) had positive tests for HBsAg. It is concluded that, in some patients with GN and the nephrotic syndrome, HBsAg-containing IC may be implicated in the development and/or progression of the disease. 相似文献

AIMS: Different patterns of glomerulonephritis (GN) are reported from all over the world and the occurrence of primary GN is changing in the course of time. We report the frequencies of primary GN in a major teaching hospital in Brazil, from 1979-1999. METHODS: The case files of renal biopsies of primary GN were reviewed. The included patients were > 14 years of age, with native kidneys, and the specimens were examined with at least light and immunofluorescence microscopy. We excluded biopsy results of patients with any kind of known secondary glomerular involvement. Differences in proportions of diagnoses between the periods over time were evaluated using Chi-square test for trend. RESULTS: We considered 943 patients for the analysis. Focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) was the most common lesion (n = 279), followed by membranous GN (n = 140), membranoproliferative type I GN (n = 109) and IgA nephropathy (n = 109). FSGS (32.1%) was the most frequent diagnosis among nephrotic patients whereas IgAN (29.4%) predominated in non-nephrotic ones. The occurrence of FSGS increased from the earlier to the later periods: 22.3% (1979-1983), 23.7% (1984-1988), 35.7% (1989-1993), 33.9% (1994-1999), p < 0.05. The increase in frequency of FSGS was proportionally higher in non-nephrotic patients and FSGS became as common as IgA nephropathy in this group (31.6% and 28.0%, respectively) from 1994-1999. CONCLUSIONS: FSGS was the most common pattern of primary glomerulonephritis and its relative frequency seems to be increasing in biopsied patients over time. The reasons for this behavior are unclear and warrant further investigations. 相似文献

Three hundred fifteen (315) elderly (> or = 60 years) patients with clinical renal diseases were evaluated for the evidence of glomerular diseases between November 1998 to June 2002. Glomerular diseases (GN) were observed in 20.6% (65/315) of the elderly patients. The age of the patients (male 56; female 9) ranged between 60-90 (mean 64.17 +/- 3.83) years. The clinical presentation of GN included: nephrotic syndrome 40 (61.5%), acute nephritic syndrome 19 (29.2%), rapidly progressive GN 4 (6.15%) and asymptomatic urinary abnormality 2 (3.0%). Overall, primary and secondary glomerular disease were seen in 47 (72.3%) and 18 (27.6%) elderly patients respectively. Idiopathic membranous nephropathy was the most common GN responsible for nephrotic syndrome in 11 (27.5%) of elderly patients. Diabetic Nephropathy related to type 2 diabetes mellitus was the second common cause 9 (22.5%) of nephrotic syndrome. Amyloidosis was noted in 6 (15%) patients. Nephrotic syndrome was related to leprosy in one patient. Amyloidosis occurred in association with multiple myeloma in 5 and carcinoma colon in 1 patient. Thus, primary and secondary GN were responsible for nephrotic syndrome in 60% and 40% of cases respectively. Endocapillary proliferative GN of post infectious etiology was the most prevalent (82.6%) form of acute GN in our elderly patients. Hypertension occurred in 78.2% of cases and edema in 69.5%. Pulmonary congestion (52.2%) and ARF (73.9%) were the dominant presenting feature of acute GN and 39% of patients required dialytic support. Glomerular crescents were seen in 4 (17.4%) patients with acute glomerulonephritis. Pauci-immune crescentic GN which is the commonest type of acute GN in the elderly in western countries was not observed in this study. Renal biopsy revealed mesangiocapillary GN (1) and mesangioproliferative GN (1) in two patients with asymptomatic urinary abnormalities. Thus, overall spectrum of glomerular disease in the Indian elderly population is similar to that of developed countries except in two ways: (1) post infectious endocapillary proliferative-GN was the commonest type of acute GN (2) rarity or absence of pauci-immune crescentic glomerulonephritis. 相似文献
