Abstract (2. Language):
Objective: Kidney biopsy is performed for the diagnosis and the decision of treatment of renal parenchymal
diseases. The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinicopathological findings of kidney biopsies.
Materials and methods: 513 kidney biopsies performed between November 1999 and May 2004 at the Division
of Nephrology were included in the study. 444 (86.5%) of the biopsies were from native kidneys, while 69 (13.5%)
were from transplant kidneys.
Results: The most common indication for biopsy of native kidneys was nephrotic syndrome (n=140, 31.5%). This
was followed by pathological urinary findings (proteinuria and hematuria) (n=116, 26.1%) and lupus nephritis
(n=78, 17.6%). The most common diagnosis was lupus nephritis (n=54, 12.2%) which was followed by IgA nephropathy
(n=53, 11.9%) and crescentic glomerulonephritis (n=51, 11.5%). The most common diagnosis of
transplant biopsies was chronic allograft nephropathy (n=38, 55.1%).
Conclusion: In conclusion, the present study which evaluated 513 renal biopsies showed that nephrotic syndrome
was the most common indication for kidney biopsy. IgA nephropathy was the most common primary glomerular
disease and lupus nephritis was the most common secondary glomerular disease among the biopsies.

ÖZET
Amaç: Böbrek biyopsisi, renal parenkimal hastal›klar›n tan›s›nda ve tedavisinin belirlenmesinde kullan›lan bir yöntemdir.
Bu çal›flmada böbrek biyopsisinin klinikopatoloji aç›s›ndan de¤erlendirilmesi amaçlanm›flt›r.
Gereç ve yöntem: Bu çal›flmada Kas›m 1999 ile May›s 2004 aras›nda Nefroloji Bilim Dal› servisinde gerçeklefltirilmifl
olan 513 böbrek biyopsisi de¤erlendirilmeye al›nm›flt›r. Biyopsilerin 444’ü (%86,5) nativ böbreklere ait iken,
69’u (%13,5) transplant biyopsisiydi.
Bulgular: Nativ böbrek biyopsileri içinde en s›k endikasyon nefrotik sendrom (n=140, %31,5) idi. Bunu patolojik
idrar bulgusu (proteinüri ve hematüri) (n=116, %26,1) ve lupus nefriti (n=78, %17,6) izlemekteydi. En s›k konan
tan› lupus nefriti (n=54, %12,2) iken bunu IgA nefropatisinin (n=53, %11,9) ve kresentik glomerulonefritin (n=51,
%11,5) takip etti¤i görüldü. Transplant biyopsileri içinde en s›k karfl›lafl›lan tan›n›n kronik allograft nefropatisi
(n=38, %55,1) oldu¤u dikkati çekti.
Sonuç: Sonuç olarak, 513 böbrek biyopsisinin de¤erlendirildi¤i bu çal›flmada, en s›k böbrek biyopsisi endikasyonunun
nefrotik sendrom oldu¤u, primer glomeruler hastal›klar içinde en s›k IgA nefropatisi ile, sekonder glomeruler
hastal›klar içinde ise en s›k lupus nefriti ile karfl›lafl›ld›¤› dikkati çekmifltir.
