Abstract:
Between October 1987. and October 1992. 289 biopsies of the kidney in patients with glomerular diseases were performed. Pathohistologic analysis showed 218 cases with primary and 71 cases with secondary glomerular diseases. In all patients kidneys were measured by ultrasound examinations. The results showed significant difference in longitudinal diameter of kidneys in patients with primary from those with secondary glomerular diseases. These results can help a nephrologist to diagnose glomerular disease.
