“…Clinicopathological correlations observed in our study are shown in Table 3 proliferative GN and segmental proliferative GN [5,14]. Our classification is most similar to Italian [2,3], Spanish [6,7] and Czech [8] report, with some minor differences.…”

“…The most common indication for renal biopsy in our patients was NS in total (40.3%) and also in men (42.6%), while in women it was AUA (38.8%). In most registry and database reports, NS was also the most common indication [6,8,14,18,19,25], while in Italy [2] and in Belgium [20] it was AUA. As we stated earlier, this depends on the biopsy policy of different country or region, but also on availability of the biopsy and socio-economic status.…”

“…In addition, data from local or limited national registries of renal biopsy have been reported from South Korea [10,11], Bahrain [12,13], Brazil [14], Romania [15], China [16], Finland [17], Serbia [18], Pakistan [19] and Belgium [20]. Finally, there are also reports that include epidemiological data only on glomerular diseases from Australia [21], Macedonia [22], France [23], USA [24], Iran [25], Germany [26], Lebanon [27], Peru [28] and Poland [29].…”

PURPOSE: There is a paucity of epidemiological data on biopsy-proven renal disease in Croatia. The purpose of this report is a review of clinical and histological data, over a period of 15 years, from the single biggest adult native renal biopsy centre in Croatia.METHODS: This report includes data from 922 adult native renal biopsies in patients referred from the whole country and performed in our centre from 1996 till February 2012. Data on age, gender, serum creatinine, urine sediment, 24-hour proteinuria, clinical syndrome and histological diagnosis were collected and analyzed retrospectively. In all patients light, immunofluorescence and electron microscopic analysis was performed.RESULTS: The median age of the patients was 48 years (interquartile range 36-59 years), and the majority of patients were men (57.8%). The most common indication for renal biopsy was nephrotic syndrome (40.3%) followed by asymptomatic urinary abnormalities (31.7%). The most common biopsy-proven renal disease in total was IgA glomerulonephritis (19.3%), followed by FSGS (15.8%) and membranous glomerulonephritis (9.2%). In men similar results were found, while in women the most common were hereditary nephritis (13.4%), FSGS (12.9%) and connective tissue disease-related glomerular disorders (11.6%).CONCLUSION: The presented data are an important contribution to the better understanding of the epidemiology of biopsy-proven renal disease in Croatia and Europe throughout comparison with other registry data. This data should be the basis for the formation of Croatian Registry of Renal Biopsies.

“…According to several authors, the worldwide incidence of FSGS is on the rise annually, including in Brazilian statistics (1,8,9) . Data from the Paulista registry of glomerulopathies shows that FSGS is the most common primary glomerulopathy in 11 centers of São Paulo, accounting for 29.7% of cases, followed by membranous nephropathy (20.7%) and immunoglobulin A (IgA) nephropathy (17.8%) (12) . From an etiological standpoint, FSGS may be associated with a variety of conditions, including viral infections (human immunodeficiency virus [HIV], simian virus 40 [SV40] , parvovirus B19), several drugs (heroin, pamidronate, interferon), adaptive to hyperfiltration (as in hypertension, obesity, and sickle-cell anemia), and genetic disorders (familiar forms), and may be idiopathic (11) .…”

“…4 In Brazil, the Paulista Registry of Glomerulopathies has reported that the frequency of biopsies in patients over the age of 60 years accounts for 8.0% of the notified cases, and, in those over the age of 80 years, for 0.4%. 5 Another Brazilian study has reported that 2.2% of the 9,617 biopsies in native kidneys were performed in elderly patients. 6 This study aimed at assessing the distribution, clinical characteristics, and evolution of the nephropathies diagnosed by use of renal biopsy in the elderly.…”
