OBJECTIVE: To determine the spectrum of pathological lesions in percutaneous renal biopsies of @entity1 with @entity810 ( @entity810 ) and to compare our findings with reported literature. DESIGN: A single center based retrospective observational study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY: The study was conducted in the Department of Histopathology, Sindh Institute of Urology and Transplantation, Karachi over a period of seven years (April 1995 to April 2002). SUBJECTS AND METHODS: All the @entity1 with @entity810 who presented to the emergency ward of SIUT between April 1995 and April, 2002 and in whom renal biopsy was performed, were included in this study. @entity1 's demographic and clinical data were collected from a review of @entity1 's original surgical biopsy reports and case files. Pathological diagnosis was retrieved from a review of biopsy reports. Renal biopsies were received in 10% buffered @entity406 and processed for @entity982 embedding and subsequent histopathological examination under the light microscope. RESULTS: A total of 158 @entity1 were studied. Of these 57 were males and 101 females. Mean age of the @entity1 in this series was 30.7 years with a range of 6 to 75 years. Of these 61(38.6%) had @entity4295 , 36 (22.7%) acute cortical @entity39 and 49(31%) @entity1 had various types of @entity631 ( @entity631 ). Eight @entity1 (5%) had acute @entity1986 , 3 (1.8%) acute @entity2885 and one @entity1 had @entity2583 . CONCLUSION: This study showed that even in the selected population of biopsied @entity810 cases, there was a high prevalence of @entity8 . A substantial number of cases in unexplained @entity810 on renal biopsy were due to various forms of @entity631 .
