Aim:

Our aim was to determine the profile of nephropathy in adults in our region.

Methods:

Consecutive renal biopsies performed between January 2007 and May 2012 were reviewed. There were 90 cases (M 44, F 46, mean age: 36.63±12.59).

Results:

The most common indication for renal biopsy was nephritic syndrome and the most common diagnosis was membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis.

Conclusion:

In the last 10 years, similar findings were obtained in studies on the epidemiology of glomerulonephritis and, MPGN remains in first place.

Keywords: Glomerulonephritis, epidemiology, membranoproliferative, glomerulonephritis
