Glomerular lesions causing nephrotic syndrome [light microscopic findings] in 75 adult patients

ABSTRACT

This study includes seventy five adult patients of Nephrotic syndrome who underwent successful Renal Biopsy in order to determine the Glomerular pathology on light microscopy. More than 90% patients had primary glomerular lesions and the rest had secondary glomerular involvement. Focal and segmental proliferative glomerulonephritis [38%] and membranous glomerulonephritis [30%] were found to be the commonest lesions. Diabetes was the commonest [5%] cause of secondary glomerular lesions
