ABSTRACT
The biopsy slides and clinical data on 244 patients who underwent percutaneous renal biopsies in the last 4 years in Kuwait were retrospectively reviewed. The data were analysed to show a correlation between clinical presentation and histological findings. We noted a high incidence of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) presenting as nephrotic syndrome in association with schistosomal infection, an endemic disease in many of the neighbouring countries. Lupus nephritis was also observed at a relatively increased incidence compared with the West. On the other hand, amyloidosis and IgA nephropathy were less common, 5% for each.
