Popis: Background and Aims Glomerulonephritis (GN) is one of common causes of end-stage renal disease (ESRD) in Korea as well as in the world, however, it is underdiagnosed as a cause of chronic kidney disease. The incidence and prevalence of GNs are different according to periods and countries. We report trends of pathologic diagnosis of nephritis from 18 centers throughout Korea during last 40 years. Method We enrolled 21,617 patients having native kidney biopsy for diagnosis of nephritis between 1979 and 2018, retrospectively. We excluded 191 patients diagnosed as cancer or tumor and analyzed the data of 21,426 patients. We defined the primary GN as IgA nephropathy (IGAN), minimal change disease (MCD), membranous nephropathy (MGN), focal segmental glomerulosclerosis (FSGS), membranoproliferative GN (MPGN), and C3 glomerulopathy (C3G). The estimated glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was calculated by original MDRD equation for adults and by height-independent equation for children. The final outcomes were incidences of end stage renal disease (ESRD) and death. Results There were 22,203 pathologic diagnoses including 777 patients with two kinds of pathologic diagnosis. The age was 42.1 ± 17.7 years at renal biopsy. There were 11565 (54.0 %) men and 976 (4.6 %) children Conclusion IGAN was the most frequent diagnosis followed by MGN and MCD. Compared to Western countries, IGAN and MCD are more prevalent in Korea, while MGN and FSGS are less prevalent. The frequencies of MPGN and LN had been decreased since 2000. The patients with MPGN and C3G showed the worst prognosis.
