  • Title: Influence of regional factors in the distribution of the histologic patterns of glomerulopathies in the nephrotic syndrome.
    Author: Queiroz FP, Brito E, Martinelli R.
    Journal: Nephron; 1975; 14(6):466-70. PubMed ID: 1153046.
    Abstract:
    Analysis of 47 renal biopsies performed on adult patients with nephrotic syndrome in Bahia, Brazil, shows a peculiar distribution of the histologic types with a preponderance of membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis. The possibility of a regional influence is discussed, particularly with regard to Schistosoma mansoni infection which is endemic in this area and probably an important cause of glomerulopathy.
