Sažetak
Objective: To show the epidemiology of renal diseases. Method: We performed a retrospective statistical analysis of native renal biopsies diagnosed in Dubrava University Hospital Zagreb, during period April 2003–December 2012. Results: During analyzed period a total of 1981 native renal biopsies were found. Patient’s age range 1– 88 years (average 47.1). Biopsies originate from 11 Croatian hospitals and Mostar University Hospital (Bosnia and Herzegovina). Men had 1.3× more biopsies than women (M:F=1, 085:806). Glomerular diseases were the most frequent diagnosis (70.9 %) followed by diseases of the blood vessels (8.8 %) and tubulointerstitium (5.0 %). Primary glomerular diseases were 1, 4× more frequent than secondary. IgA nephropathy was the most common disease diagnosed in 18.9 % biopsies, followed by focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (12.1 %) and membranous glomerulonephritis (8.4 %). Pauci-immune glomerulonephritis was the most common secondary glomerular disease in our sample (6.9 %), followed by lupus nephritis (5.6 %) and diabetic nephropathy (5.5 %). Some diseases were more frequently diagnosed in women than in men and vice versa. Conclusion: At present time, two- thirds of renal biopsies performed in Croatia are processed by our laboratory. We believe that presented data are representative and provide detailed information about incidence, prevalence and trends in epidemiology of renal diseases in Croatia.
