We reviewed 119 renal biopsies performed between 1964 and 1982 on adults aged 60 or more. The two main indications wer: renal failure (35/119) and nephrotic syndrome (35/119). Histology showed: primary glomerular diseases (76/119), systemic diseases with renal involvement (31/119), arteriosclerosis only (5/19), tubulo-interstitial nephritis only (5/119). No obvious lesion was seen in 2 cases. Additional arteriosclerosis was observed in 21 cases and additional tubulo-interstitial nephritis in 6 cases. Primary glomerular diseases consisted mainly in diffuse membranous glomerulonephritis (18/76). Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (7/31) and amyloidosis (6/31) represented most of the systemic diseases with renal involvement. The usefulness of renal biopsy in diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of a wide variety of renal diseases in elderly adults is demonstrated.
我们回顾了1964年至1982年间对60岁及以上成年人进行的119例肾活检。两个主要指征是:肾衰竭(35/119)和肾病综合征(35/119)。组织学显示:原发性肾小球疾病(76/119)、累及肾脏的全身性疾病(31/119)、仅动脉硬化(5/19)、仅肾小管间质性肾炎(5/119)。2例未见明显病变。21例观察到合并动脉硬化,6例观察到合并肾小管间质性肾炎。原发性肾小球疾病主要为弥漫性膜性肾小球肾炎(18/76)。系统性红斑狼疮(7/31)和淀粉样变性(6/31)是累及肾脏的大多数全身性疾病。肾活检在老年成年人各种肾脏疾病的诊断、治疗和预后方面的实用性得到了证实。
