Pathologic Analysis of 246 Cases with Renal Biopsy in Children / 实用儿科临床杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To explore the pathologic feature of children with kidney disease.Methods A retrospective analysis on renal bio-psy findings in 246 cases of children patients.Pathological classification was made according to the modified WHO criteria of 1995 for renal pathology.Results Of the 246 children,104 cases were diagnosed as primary glomerulonephritis,accounting for 42.28% of the total cases,136 cases as secondary glomerulonephritis,accounting for 42.28%,3 cases as hereditary nephritis,accounting for 1.22%,and 3 cases as unclassified renal disease,accounting for 1.22%.In primary glomerulonephritis,66 cases were diagnosed as nephrotic syndrome,23 cases as persistent glomeruloneplritis,8 cases as acute nephritis syndrome,3 cases as chronic nephritis syndrome,2 cases as isolated proteinuria,1 case as rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis,1 case as isolated hematuria.IgA nephropathy was the most frequent pathological type,accounting for 15.85%(39 cases),followed by mesangial proliferative glomerulonephritis,minimal change disease,endocapillary proliferative glomerulinephritis,IgM nephropathy,membranous nephropathy,focal segmental glomerulosclerosis,and minor lesion nephropathy.In secondary glomerulonephritis,Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis accounting for 48.37%(119 cases),followed by hepatitis B virus associated nephritis(11 cases) and lupus nephritis(6 cases).In hereditary nephritis,there were 2 cases with thin glomerular basement disease and 1 case with Alport syndrome.Conclusions Among the 246 cases of renal biopsy data,the secondary glomerulonephritis,especially Henoch-Schonlein purpura nephritis,is more common than primary glomerulonephritis.In primary glomerular diseases,IgA nephropathy is the most frequent pathological type.
