Is the Prevalence of Biopsy-Proven Glomerulopathies in Adults Changing Over Time?
Maedica (Bucur)

"Carol Davila" University of Medicine and Pharmacy, Bucharest, Romania.
Article Synopsis
- A study in Romania reviewed 1,254 adults with biopsy-proven glomerulopathies (GP) from 2008 to 2017 to assess changes in frequency and causes for kidney biopsies (KB).
- The research found that while nephrotic syndrome was a common reason for KB, its occurrence decreased significantly over the decade, with older patients showing more advanced kidney damage and chronic kidney function decline.
- Additionally, there was a notable increase in cases of diabetic nephropathy and crescentic glomerulonephritis, suggesting changes in diagnostic practices rather than an actual rise in GP prevalence among older adults.
