    Author: Vlasov V, Chervenkova A.
    Journal: Vutr Boles; 1975; 14(1):34-40. PubMed ID: 242119.
    Abstract:
    The investigation covers the necropsic material of the Pathological Anatomy Chair, Medical Academy-Sofia, with a total of 3519 necropsies for a period of 5 years (1968--1970). In that material, 285 cases with uremia were established, due to chronic renal diseases, which might be referred to 13 nozological entities. The highest number of cases are with chronic pyelonephritis (64,96 per cent). The chronic glomerulonephritis, though it ranks second, is considerably rarely met (9,47 per cent). Endemic nephropathy, according to the incidence, follows--4,21 per cent, nephropathy in diabetes mellitus--3,86 per cent, subacute glomerulonephritis--3,16 per cent, amyloidosis--2,81 per cent, hypertonic disease--2,81 per cent, malignant tumors of the kidneys--2,81 per cent cystic kidneys--2,10 per cent, lupus erythematosus--1,05 per cent, sclerodermia--0,70 per cent, myeloma disease--0,70 per cent and polyarteriitis nodosa--0,35 per cent. As to the chronic renal disease, most frequently met in the material discussed, the chronic pyelonephritis, the authors discuss the factors that played certain role in its development as well.
