RESUMEN
Objective To study the kidney histological categories of isolated hematuria in children.Methods Twenty-three children with isolated hematuria were performed renal biopsy under real time ultrasound guidance utilizing menghini style negative pressure biopsy device after local anesthesia or general anesthesia.The renopuncture tissue was directly sent by the mail-boxes to the remote pathologic service.All of the biopsies were examined by light microscopy,electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry.Results Biopsies were classified as measangial proliferative glomerulonephritis(MsPGN)(8 cases),minimal change nephropathy(MCN)(5 cases),IgA nephropathy(IgAN)(4 cases),thin basement membrane nephropathy(TMN)(3 cases),Alport′s syndrome(AS)(1 case),focal segmental glomerulosclerosis(FSGS)(1 case)and IgM nephropathy(IgMN)(1 case).Conclusions In this series,MsPGN,MGA,IgAN are the most common biopsy diagnosis.TMN and Alport′s are account for some proportion.A few IgMN and FSGS may also present as isolated hematuria.
