Kidney Biopsy in 613 Elderly Brazilian Patients: Clinicopathological Correlations

In this study, the NS was the most frequent clinical presentation, and the most common histopathological finding was MN. We observed differences in glomerular disease frequencies between genders and age-groups in the elderly. Considering our findings, we emphasize the importance of kidney biopsy in this age-group due to the potential for improvement with specific treatments.

Abstract

In this study, the NS was the most frequent clinical presentation, and the most common histopathological finding was MN. We observed differences in glomerular disease frequencies between genders and age-groups in the elderly. Considering our findings, we emphasize the importance of kidney biopsy in this age-group due to the potential for improvement with specific treatments.
