To evaluate the distribution pattern of renal diseases based on needle biopsy, we analyzed 2361 cases of renal biopsy and necropsy material examined at the Department of Pathology from 1973 to 1988. The average age was 21.1 years for males and 23.7 years for females. The adult cases comprised 60.2% and the child cases 39.8%. The male to female ratio was 1.6: 1 in adults and 2.3:1 in children. Glomerular diseases were 97.8% of the total; primary glomerulonephritis (GN) 59.8% and secondary GN 27.6% The major glomerular diseases, in descending order of frequency, were; minimal change nephrotic syndrome (MCNS; 24.2%), IgA nephropathy (IgAN; 17.8%), benign recurrent hematuria (BRH; 8.8%), membranous GN (MGN; 7.9%), acute poststreptococcal GN (APSGN; 7.3%), mesangioproliferative GN (MspGN; 5.5%), minimal mesangiopathy (5.5%), membranoproliferative GN(4.1%), and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS; 2.7%). GN of systemic disease included 77 cases of lupus nephritis, 157 cases of Henoch-Schönlein purpura nephritis (HSPN) and 7 cases of systemic infection excluding Hepatitis B viral hepatitis. The most common glomerular diseases were MCNS, IgAN, MGN and MspGN in adults, and MCNS, BRH, HSP-N and APSGN in children. HBs antigenemia was found in 71 cases, of which MGN and IgAN were the most frequent. HBs antigenemia-associated MGN was prevalent in male children, whereas IgAN was prevalent in adults.(ABSTRACT TRUNCATED AT 250 WORDS)
