Toward quantitating the burden of glomerulonephritis in the United States

Abstract

Previous data attempting to quantitate the national burden of glomerulonephritis (GN) have been derived from regional biopsy series or end-stage renal disease registries. Wetmore et al. is the first to address this question based on claims data extracted from 2 large U.S. health care systems. Although there are limitations, it provides broad-based epidemiological data that demonstrate a significant underestimate of the extent of GN disease and provide an important first step in its quantitation.
