ABSTRACT

INTRODUCTION:

There is a paucity of data pertaining to spectrum of renal diseases in various parts of India. Available literature has emphasized more on specific clinical syndromes of renal diseases rather than over all spectrum. The present study highlights specimen of symptomatic renal disorders at a tertiary care hospital in Haryana and will find place for better resource management and planning. MATERIALS AND

METHODS:

It included 1806 patients either presenting for the first time to nephrology outpatient department of admitted between Jan 1996 - Dec 2001 to the institute. The study was retrospective for five years (1996-2000) and prospective for one year. Records of all these patients were analyzed and patients were grouped in different renal syndromes.

RESULTS:

Mean age of patients was (38.79 +/- 15.15 years) with male preponderance in all renal syndromes. Chronic renal failure (CRF) was the commonest presentation (56.02%). Nephrotic syndrome accounted for 22.36% whereas acute renal failure (ARF) was seen in 12.84%. Other presentations were acute nephritic syndrome (6.75%) and asymptomatic urinary abnormality (AUA) (0.99%). Chronic glomerulonephritis (CGN) (39.32%) and diabetic nephropathy (DN) (19.16%) were leading causes of CRF. Medical ARF accounted for 2/3rd of the cases of ARF and surgical etiology was seen in 1/5th of causes whereas obstetric cause was responsible for 1/7th of the cases. Minimal change disease (MCD) (33.33%) was the commonest cause of primary nephrotic syndrome followed by membranoproliferative glomeruolonephritis (MPGN). Secondary glomerular diseases were found in 21.28%. Post-streptococcal glomerulonephritis (PSGN) was the commonest cause of nephritic syndrome (37.70%).

CONCLUSION:

It is the first large study of its kind from a tertiary health care centre of Haryana. Male patients in their peak of life (3rd and 4th decade) were the major candidates requiring renal care with CRF as the commonest presentation and diabetic nephropathy as the second commonest cause of CRF after CGN. We need more Indian studies on spectrum of renal diseases for better available resource management.
