Department of Nephrology, Clinical Center, Skopje, Republic of Macedonia

In order to define the type of renal disease, renal biopsy was performed in 1304 patients, aged 14–72 years. Their biopsies were processed for light and immunofluorescence microscopy, and electron microscopy in some cases. The diagnosis of primary glomerular disease was confirmed in 716 patients with the following incidence: minimal change nephrotic syndrome in 52 (7.2%), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis in 72 (9.9%), membranous nephropathy in 97 (13.5%), IgA nephropathy in 85 (11.8%), diffuse mesangial glomerulonephritis (GN) without IgA in 32 (4.4%), focal mesangial GN in 97 (13.5%), membranoproliferative GN in 59 (8.4%), acute GN in 88 (12.3%), crescentic GN in 53 (7.4%) and sclerosing GN in 46 patients (6.4%).
