Abstract:
Nephrotic syndrome can result from a large number of glomerular lesions. The primary or idiopathic nephrotic syndrome is a condition which develops as a result of primary glomerular disorders of the kidney. From July 2005 to June 2007, renal biopsies were done in all patients of adult nephrotic syndrome. Renal biopsies were evaluated by light and immunofluorescence microscopy. Out of 74 renal biopsies primary nephrotic syndrome was 70. Male was 64.9% and; 35.1% was female patients. Average age was (33.14±11.70) years. The main morphological pattern was Mesangialproliferative glomerulonephritis 36.48% followed by membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis 20.27%. Membranous nephropathy (10.81%) was not much common in our country.
