Influence of regional factors in the distribution of the histologic patterns of glomerulopathies in the nephrotic syndrome

F P Queiroz et al. Nephron. 1975.

Abstract

Analysis of 47 renal biopsies performed on adult patients with nephrotic syndrome in Bahia, Brazil, shows a peculiar distribution of the histologic types with a preponderance of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis. The possibility of a regional influence is discussed, particularly with regard to Schistosoma mansoni infection which is endemic in this area and probably an important cause of glomerulopathy.
