Abstract EN
We report our institute experience on primary glomerular disease in children in the western region of Saudi Arabia over the last 18 years (1988 to 2006).
A total of 169 cases were identified as primary glomerular diseases in children and adolescent with age range from first year of life till 18 years.
Minimal change disease and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis were the commonly encountered primary glomerular diseases (20.1%and 19.5% respectively), mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis IgM nephropathy (14.8%), IgA nephropathy (10.7%), postinfectious glomerulonephritis (9.5%), membranous glomerulonephritis (7.1%), membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (5.9%) and mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis with negative immunofluorescence (5.9%).
The less frequently encountered primary glomerular diseases were congenital nephritic syndrome Finnish type (2.4%), Alport syndrome (2.4%), dense deposit disease (1.2%), and mesangioproliferative glomerulonephritis with IgG positive (0.6%).
We concluded that minimal change disease and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis are the most common primary glomerular disorder encountered in children in our series and with similar age distribution.
