“…Our results indicated that about 75% of the renal biopsies resulted in a diagnosis of primary GN and that about 15% resulted in a diagnosis of secondary GN, similar to previously reported frequencies around the world [5,7,8,10,11,12,15,17,20,23,24,27,28,31,32]. The frequency of secondary GN was higher among women (17.7%) than among men (10.3%), because of the higher incidence of lupus N among women.…”

“…Our data was almost the same as data from another region in Japan [1] and from East Asian countries such as Korea [5,6], China [7,8,9], and Hong Kong [10]. Among data originating from West Asian countries, such as Saudi Arabia [11,12], Bahrain [13,14], United Arab Emirates [15], and India [16], FSGS was the most common disease (25.1 ± 10.5%), and IgAN only accounted for 11.8 ± 7.1% of biopsy-confirmed renal disease. The frequency of MPGN in West Asia was quite high (13.4 ± 8.8%) compared with other regions.…”

“…Regarding secondary GN, lupus N was dramatically higher among women than among men in Japan, as also reported in Korea [5,6], Saudi Arabia [11], Bahrain [13,14], Australia [17], and the Czech Republic [24], because of the higher morbidity associated with systemic lupus erythematosus in women. Diabetic nephropathy was observed to be dramatically higher among men, because diabetes mellitus is more common among men in Japan even though the majority of diabetic nephropathy patients do not undergo a renal biopsy.…”

Background: Evaluating the frequency of renal disease according to sex, age, time period and ethnicity is of considerable importance. Methods: Disease frequency was evaluated in a total of 2,404 cases that had undergone a renal biopsy at Tokyo Women’s Medical University between 1979 and 2008. Results: The overall frequencies of primary glomerulonephritis (GN) and secondary GN were 77.8 and 14.4%, respectively. Primary GN and nephrosclerosis occurred more frequently among men, while secondary GN was more frequent among women. Primary GN decreased and secondary GN increased with advancing age. Immunoglobulin A nephropathy was the most common form of primary GN during each time period and also gradually increased over time (44.4–57.4%). The most common form of secondary GN was lupus nephritis (59.0%); this disease was commonly observed in women (79.3%) but not as frequently among men (27.9%). Our data regarding the frequencies of each form of primary GN were almost the same as data from other regions of Japan and East Asia but were quite different from data originating in West Asia and South America. Conclusions: Our epidemiological results may be useful for analyzing the morbidity of renal disease.

“…Comparing with the other studies that have investigated the secondary GN, the high frequency of amyloidosis in this study can be attributed to the high prevalence of familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) in Turkey. 3,11,12 Whereas rheumatoid arthritis has been reported as the leading cause of reactive amyloidosis in the European countries, 13 FMF, which is a heredofamilial disease, is the leading cause of reactive amyloidosis in Turkey. 14,15 Similar with the studies in the literature, we determined that NS was the most common indication for biopsy in the patients with amyloidosis.…”

Objective: To investigate the clinicopathologic correlation of the glomerular diseases and to compare the presentations of primary and secondary glomerular diseases. Methods: Two hundred and sixty adult patients (men = 56.2%, mean age = 39.9 ± 16.0 years) who had undergone renal biopsy and been diagnosed with glomerular disease were retrospectively investigated. The information about the demographic and clinical characteristics of the patients, the indications for biopsy, the laboratory parameters, and the pathological results of the biopsies were obtained from the medical records. Primary and secondary glomerulonephritis (GN) groups were compared in terms of their demographic characteristics, indications for biopsy, and laboratory parameters. Results: Percent of patients with primary and secondary GN were 63.5% and 36.5%, respectively. The most common indication for biopsy was nephrotic syndrome (53.8%) in all patients. It was found that presentation with impaired renal function was more prevalent in the secondary GN group when compared with the primary GN group (54.7% vs. 35.8%, p < 0.05). Among the inflammation parameters, the levels of erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were found to be significantly higher in the secondary GN group when compared with the primary GN group (ESR = 85.2 ± 30.4 mm/h vs. 56.3 ± 30.7 mm/h, p < 0.001; CRP = 42.1 ± 39.6 mg/L vs. 21.7 ± 40.2 mg/L, p < 0.001). Conclusions: The clinicopathologic correlation of GN was found similar with the larger studies in the literature. This study also indicated that the rate of patients with secondary GN was not low, and the inflammation parameters were higher in the secondary GN groups.

“…Naini et al 3 have found that Lupus nephritis contributed around 10.6% of cases of adult glomerulonephritides. Studies in Saudi Arabia by Mitwalli et al 14,16 have shown that amongst the secondary glomerular diseases, Lupus nephritis was the most prevalent.…”
