A renal biopsy is essential for the identification and management of renal disorders. Although considered an invasive operation, it is necessary for a definitive diagnosis and treatment of many renal diseases. The primary goal of this study was to assess the clinicopathological aspect of renal diseases undergoing biopsy in children receiving tertiary care. Children (≤18 years) hospitalized with nephrotic syndrome were the subjects of this cross-sectional study, and comprehensive assessments confirmed the need for a kidney biopsy. Included were 277 children who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria. Data on patient outcomes, biopsy indications, complications, histopathologic results, and demographic information were documented. Of the 277 patients who underwent renal biopsy, 63.2% were male, and 36.8% were female. Average age of the patients was 15 ± 2.9 years, with age distribution ranging from 3 to 18 years. The most frequent indication for renal biopsy was atypical age of <1 and >10-years-old (91.7%), steroid-resistant (5.1%), asymptomatic hematuria (21.3%), abnormal glomerular filtration rate (16.2%), and proteinuria (14.8%). The most common histopathological findings were focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS) (36.5%), followed by minimal change disease (MCD) (13.4%), membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis (MPGN) (10.5%), membranous glomerulonephritis (MGN) (7.94%), IgA nephropathy (IGAN) (7.58%), non-proliferative glomerulonephritis (NPGN) (7.58%), diffuse proliferative glomerulonephritis (DPGN) (6.9%), crescentic GN (5.8%), and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) (3.97%). The high frequency of positive samples was seen in SLE, followed by DPGN, MPGN, IGAN, and MGN. In contrast, MCD, crescentic GN, and NPGN showed negativity in all differential item functioning (DIF) parameters. Renal biopsy is a safe and effective procedure in the diagnosis and treatment of in children with nephrotic syndrome. FSGS had the highest frequency in examined biopsies.
肾活检对于肾脏疾病的诊断和治疗至关重要。虽然被认为是一种有创性操作,但对于许多肾脏疾病的明确诊断和治疗是必要的。本研究的主要目的是评估在接受三级护理的儿童中进行肾活检的肾脏疾病的临床病理方面。这项横断面研究的对象是患有肾病综合征并住院的儿童,全面评估证实需要进行肾活检。符合纳入和排除标准的儿童共有 277 名。记录了患者结局、活检适应证、并发症、组织病理学结果和人口统计学信息。在接受肾活检的 277 名患者中,63.2%为男性,36.8%为女性。患者的平均年龄为 15±2.9 岁,年龄分布为 3 至 18 岁。肾活检最常见的适应证是不典型年龄<1 岁和>10 岁(91.7%)、激素抵抗(5.1%)、无症状血尿(21.3%)、肾小球滤过率异常(16.2%)和蛋白尿(14.8%)。最常见的组织病理学发现是局灶节段性肾小球硬化症(FSGS)(36.5%),其次是微小病变性肾病(MCD)(13.4%)、膜增生性肾小球肾炎(MPGN)(10.5%)、膜性肾小球肾炎(MGN)(7.94%)、IgA 肾病(IGAN)(7.58%)、非增生性肾小球肾炎(NPGN)(7.58%)、弥漫性增生性肾小球肾炎(DPGN)(6.9%)、新月体性肾炎(GN)(5.8%)和系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)(3.97%)。SLE 中阳性样本的频率较高,其次是 DPGN、MPGN、IGAN 和 MGN。相比之下,MCD、新月体性 GN 和 NPGN 在所有差异项目功能(DIF)参数中均为阴性。肾活检是儿童肾病综合征诊断和治疗的一种安全有效的方法。在检查的活检中,FSGS 的频率最高。
