Sažetak
Introduction: Renal biopsy database in the Department of Pathology, Dubrava University Hospital was created in 2003. The aim of the database is to accumulate computer-based pathologic data concerning all renal biopsy samples examined in the Department. With our database we can track the epidemiology of renal diseases diagnosed by biopsy: incidence and trends in epidemiology. Other than that it serves as an internal database for research programs in our and other departments. Design: We reviewed the database over a 7 years period (from April 2003 to December 2010) and performed the statistical analysis of our data including number of biopsies through years, patients gender, age, number of biopsies per patient, diagnoses and hospitals where the biopsy was performed. Results: During a 7 years period there were 2177 renal biopsy samples (1279 males ; 883 females, 15 donor kidneys, patient’s age range 1-85 years ; median 51). Biopsies came from 11 croatian hospitals, mostly from Dubrava and Merkur University Hospital Zagreb. Six biopsy samples came from Mostar University Hospital. The number of biopsies rapidly grew over the years (from 34 biopsies in 2003. to 542 in 2010.). There were 1289 native kidney biopsies ; out of these the most common diagnoses were IgA nephropathy (223), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (180) and membranous glomerulonephritis (100). There were 888 renal allograft biopsies and among them the most common diagnoses were acute cellular rejection and acute tubular injury. Conclusion: To our knowledge around 80% of renal biopsy samples from Croatia are examined in our department. We can say that our results reflect the epidemiology of renal diseases requiring biopsy in almost whole Croatia.
