The mean age was 55.92 ± 17.80 with age extremes of 16 and 87 years. Glomerular syndromes were the main indication with 42 cases of nephrotic syndrome (34.1%), 15 cases of nephritic syndrome (12.2%), 11 cases of rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis syndrome (8.9%), and 6 cases of recurrent macroscopic hematuria syndrome (4.9%). The histological findings were 47 cases of primary glomerular lesions (38.3%), 32 cases of nephroangiosclerosis lesions (26%), 24 cases of secondary glomerulopathy (19.5%), 9 cases of interstitial nephritis (7.3%), 2 cases of myelomatous nephropathy (1.6%), and 9 cases (7.3%) of unclassified histological lesions. Twenty-two hypertensive patients (40.7%) had nephroangiosclerosis lesions (p = 0.001). The follow-up was simple in 119 patients (96.7%). Macroscopic hematuria was noted in 4 patients (3.3%). It was associated with a perirenal hematoma in 2 patients including 1 transfused case. <strong>Conclusion:</strong> Our data provide an important contribution to the understanding of the prevalence and clinical presentation of renal diseases in the nephrology department of the Martigues hospital center.展开更多
