Abstract:

 Objective: To study the pattern of glomerular disease (GD) fromthe result of renal biopsies at our center.
methods: We conducted a retrospective review of 190 adult native renal biopsy reports from the pathology registry of renal biopsyperformed at our hospital between 1992 and 2010.
Results: Lupus nephritis was the most common pathology 48/133(36.1%) with a female preponderance. The most common primaryglomerular disease was focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS)26/133(19.5%), followed by membranous glemerulopathy (MGN)13/133 (9.8%), and mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis6/133 (4.5%). IgA nephropathy and acute proliferative glomerulonephritiseach accounted for 4/133 (3.0%). Membranoproliferativeglomerulonephritis accounted for 3/133 (2.3%). Focal proliferativeand cresentic glomerulonephritis each accounted for 2/133 (1.5%).Vasculitis was not common and there was no report of anti-GBMdisease.
Conclusion: Among the secondary glomerular diseases, lupusnephritiswas the commonest conditionwith a female preponderance.Among the primary glomerular diseases, FSGS was the commonest.These results are consistent with global trend. IgA nephropathy isnot common as the case in the Caucasian population. Vasculitis wasnot common and there was no report of anti-GBM disease.
