摘 要:Background This study was conducted to investigate retrospectively the indications for renal biopsy(RB)in native kidneys and to analyze pathological findings in a single tertiary pediatric hospital in Southern Italy for the last 36 *** All patients who underwent RB at our hospital from 1979 to 2014 were *** renal tissue specimens were studied under light and immunofluorescent microscopy,while electron microscopy was performed only for specific clinical *** The study group included 213 patients(female 43.2%)who underwent 225 percutaneous native kidney *** age was 10.4 years(range 0.6-24 years).The most frequent indication for RB was nephrotic syndrome(44.4%),fol-lowed by proteinuria(27.6%),asymptomatic hematuria(17.3%)and acute kidney injury(9.8%).Gross hematuria appeared after biopsy in less than 5%of the patients,but none of them needed blood *** renal tissue sample was obtained in 95.5%of the renal *** glomerulonephritis(GN)was the most common finding(61.4%),followed by secondary GN(21.4%),tubulointerstitial diseases(3.7%)and hereditary nephropathy(2.8%),while in 10.7%of the cases,normal renal tissues were *** to histopathological diagnosis,the most common causes of primary GN were IgA nephropathy(20.9%),followed by minimal change disease(18.1%)and focal segmental glomerulosclerosis(11.6%).Conclusions The epidemiology of glomerular disease in our single-center cohort is similar to that shown in other national and international ***,our study shows that percutaneous ultrasound-guided RB is a safe,reliable and effec-tive technique in children.
