Abstract EN
Studies published from centers across India have reported different and contradicting patterns of glomerular disease.
In this retrospective study, we report our experience from a Tertiary Care Center in Northwest India.
A total of 702 renal biopsies performed between 2008 and 2013 were reviewed of which 80 were excluded from the study because of having insufficient records or if the biopsies were taken from an allograft.
The study included 411 males (66.1 %) and 211 females (33.9%) with an age range of 12–70 years (mean 30.34 ± 7.04 years).
Majority of the biopsies (93.9%) showed some form of glomerulonephritis (GN), either primary (79.4%) or secondary glomerular disease (SGD) (14.5%).
Minimal change disease (MCD) was the most common type of primary GN (26.5% of primary GN), followed by membranous nephropathy (MN; 18.8%) and focal and segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS; 13.2%).
Lupus nephritis (LN) was the most frequent SGD (52.2% of secondary GN).
Amyloidosis was found in 41.1% and diabetic glomerulosclerosis in 4.4%.
LN was also the second most common diagnosis in females after MCD, seen in 19.4% of females.
MCD followed by membranoproliferative GN and diffuse proliferative GN were the most common entities in individuals <20 years of age.
In the 20–39 years age group, MN was the most common pathology seen.
MN was again the most common pathology seen in patients aged above 40 years followed by amyloidosis and FSGS.
In this study, MCD was the most common primary GN observed overall from this part of India.
MN was the most common GN in individuals above 20 years of age presenting with the nephrotic syndrome.
The geographical and regional differences in the pattern of GNs point to the necessity of having a central biopsy registry.
